Strongest set in general: Dark
Dark Melee is solid for Brutes and Scrappers. Downright impressive combined with Shield.
Dark Armor is tolerable to great with enough IOs.
Dark Blast has a good standing among Defender blast sets, and is not totally unwelcome among Corruptors.
Dark Miasma is bloody awesome all the time on any AT.
Yes, I redefined the question, but compare it to its brighter twin, Energy. Ew.

Actually, there is an AT that has (parts of) all of those (modified in some cases): Warshades. And Warshades have been recommended already in this thread, but I will add my vote to them as well.

And two versions of sunless mire.
And multiple damage dealing pets.
And a nuke.
And a half nuke that also stuns.
And an amazing heal/endurance recovery tool.
And an excess of PURPLE FLUFFY DOOM!!!
I'll vote for warshades too. *scrolls up* Oh, I already did.
Well I'll pretend I'm a democrat and vote for them again.
Where to now?

don'T attempt to read tHis mEssaGe, And believe Me, it is not a codE.
I figured clearly Super Strength would be the strongest power set. 
It's the player not the character; every powerset can be effective in certain situations; it all depends onit all depends on synergy with the other powerset; etc etc.
But a couple types of powersets have overall winners.
Strongest pet set: Bots. Hands down. It's not even close. Best survivability; best AE damage; good damage types; best support -- they even bubble the MM himself. Demons have good support, but don't have the damage. Thugs have good damage, but don't have the support. So, there's bots, and then there's everything else.
Strongest control set: Plant. It has everything. Start with Seeds, the most powerful level 8 ability in the game. Then add an AE root, AE sleep (underrated), AE hold, standard pet... and then add carrion creepers, which is unlike any other power in the game. Sure, fire is better for pharming due to the imps, but for overall control, nothing else competes.
