Some other things you might also consider are defenders. They have better buff numbers than controllers by a bit and blast. Sometimes end game teams really just want the buff/debuff set more than anything. In addition the blast set is still very useful as if you choose /sonic as a secondary for the defender you will be debuffing resistance big time, which is very much appreciated almost all of the time.
Another thing to consider is a dominator. An end game permadom (and your post was asking about "high-end pve" play) will control much better because it can instantly hold bosses. So on a BAF or whatever you can freeze that field of bosses in its tracks with an AOE hold where to be honest a controllers controls are often useless. Dominators also do big damage, so much that I am somewhat in fear of the nerf-bat sometime...
Controllers are fine too, of course. ( ....Ail will now run away back to the defender and dominator forums....)
