Though I find MM's to be easier and powerful in the early levels, for me Corrs end up being more straightforward, powerful, and fun to play in the endgame. Managing pets just becomes a bore for me, I've discovered.
I haven't touched an MM since demons came out due to that realization, so my current experience of comparison is out-of-date; I know though that fire/traps is awesome for all 3 of your cases, having taken my 37 fire/traps through all the old Heroside TFs, and from forum posts.

Traps is a great set but its not a farming implement.

Traps hasn't been a competitive farming powerset since the nerf to Poison Traps with regards to damage procs.

I say go with Fire Blast because there are too many Demon Summoning Masterminds and we need somthing to balance them out.
traps was crazy lethal with the Poison Trap proc effect. In and of itself, it's not a farm set, but paired with Fire Blast on a high end build, I bet it could farm satisfactorily.

Thanks for all the replies!
So it seems fire/traps has the most votes, unanimous even 
As for traps not being top dog for farming, I don't mind it being a bit slower as long as I can do it at a reasonable speed.
