I think the whole thing is how much you want to spend on a quad. My brand new Blaster was far cheaper than anything else i could find. And with a little work on the suspension...shocks and the like, it could be pretty darn good. And i guess it all goes back to what kind of riding you do. I just bought adapters for the stock axle to be able to run 9 inch wheels. They change it to the larger bolt pattern and space the wheels out about an inch, add that to the wider 9inch wheels and it should be a little more stable.

i was just riding today and i let my friend that has a 2004 Warrior with douglas rims and holeshots(which make it handle better) take my blaster for a spin and it has stock wheels and tires and suspension and he got off it and said he was impressed with how it handels, so i guess its pretty good at handeling.

I used to have a recon, same chassis and motor as the 250ex, which handled pretty well, turned so tight the bars practically touched the seat. My blaster's turning radius wasnt as tight but it was also a lot faster, which affects stability and handling. The stability was pretty good on the recon, partially because it had a lower c of g and weighed more, and because the blaster has such bubbly tires. If you could keep weight on the front end, the blaster handled pretty well at moderate speed trails. At full speed the recon was fine, but the blaster got a bit wobbly and the short wheelbase was very noticable. I havent ridden a mojave so I cant say too much about that or the z250, but I would assume the z250 is very similar to the 250ex. It depends on your riding style really, but the 250ex or z is going to handle much more smoothly, while the blaster CAN handle okay, but sometimes you have to work a lot harder to make it do what you want.
