Extreme or Balanced Dogs For Breeding?

In your experience, what has produced better? A dog that is 'extreme' in certain areas but not in others (say, extreme fight drive, extreme prey, but low defense or high thresholds), vs. a dog that is more balanced in temperament (easy to work in everything, kind of dog that never gave you a problem for example). Would you breed two extremes, or an extreme stud with a more balanced bitch? What kind of progeny have you seen with certain combinations? Excluding obvious things like nerves or health, can you usually fix things that an extreme stud dog may lack? Maybe an example are some of Gildo Korbelbach's sons, who actually seem to have much better obedience than him but retained his strengths.

These questions stemming from the kind of stuff I hear people say one way or the other.
