i really dont see the point in mounting anywhere behind dead center for park. it helps so much and also means you can ski on longer skis without feeling like their too big

well it all depends what you wanna ski.
I've been riding traditional my whole life. I mounted my chronic wides +2 from the recommended, which is only -3 from true center. I'm mounting my nordicas at the "air" recommended spot, which I think is pretty close to center but still a proportional tip/tail ratio for the BC.
For park skiers though center is the way to go for sure.

Center no question, its eazier to turn, way more balanced and is more stable if u happen to land back seat. Also do i even need to metion the switch benifits?

I had my Madens mounted a bit forward, but I shifted them back when REI fucked up and mismounted them. They went from 1 to 3 back, and I honestly like them back more for what I ski. Really helps in sketchy tree lines and rough terrain with just manuverability on the go, and its a lot easier to ski without your tips diving on long BC lines I love to do. And honestly, not much change when skiing switch, they both felt really good for such a massive ski. But yeah, for my NAS's, true center.
