On my Romulan I am a sci admiral, currently 56. I play almost fully PvE, episodes, patrol, STF queues and am having a real hard time choosing. I have both normal t6 ships already and even the lower level mogai.
Taking into account any special ship consoles or synergies, the intel boffs, all in, can you more experienced players help me pick? I have enough to buy 1.

I don't have the Feaht, but I've flown several Intel ships on other factions, and as far as Intel seating the two biggest Intel Abilities are Override Subsystem Safeties and Surgical Strikes. Override Subsystem Safeties is my favorite by far, and both ships can slot the max rank for the largest boost to subsystem power. Surgical Strikes is a pretty nice single target attack, but a lot of the game is now target-rich environments that benefit greatly from AoE attacks. Mogai can only slot rank 1 of Surgical Strikes and would have to go to using OSS2 instead of 3, whereas the Faeht can have SS3 and OSS3 for a devastating Alpha strike.
The Morrigu's C-Store console is very nice for defense, as the active is only slightly below what the Kobali Samsar console's heal once the over-shield expires, and the passive is a nice reduction to shield damage. The two-set is pretty nice reduction in weapon power drain and the three piece gives you more hull HP and flight turnrate.
Really comes down to what you like. I'd go with whichever C-Store version of the ship you liked better. I'd go Morrigu personally, but that's more to do with my playstyle.
If you prefer a single target build based on Surgical Strikes, then the winner is the Faeht.
If you're doing anything else, then my vote is for the Morrigu, especially if you already own the Valdore (T4 Mogai.)
The Fleet Mogai is a tougher ship, can take a heavier beating, deal equal damage in BFAW or Cannon set ups, and can take advantage of the 2 piece console bonus which is very nice.
The only area that the Faeht surpasses the Mogai is if you need access to the highest level Surgical Strikes skills. If you're using a FAW build, then OSS is the only 'must have' Intel ability and the Mogai has access to it.
The T6 Fleet Mogai is a tough ship to top. That and the Vastam are, in my opinion, the top dog T6 Romulan Warbirds.
It also has Intel ship abilities, which are a nice extra boost.

The 'best' beam approach for general play might be beam arrays, pedal to metal 2 and Subwarp Sheath from the sci pilot ship, which give a beam ship about the same firepower as DBB layout plus constant high defense that a DBB ship cannot manage.
- intel skills -from the ship- (currently I don't use the intel Boff skills)
- enhanced battle cloak - awesome-
- turn rate - it is very good-
- this ship is nice and small
- well geared, the faeht can take a lot of damages (I use only 1 fleet neutronium console), if you are agree to loose dps.( I do 32k with my tac rom, enough for all the content)
- this ship is perfect for a dbb build, a dhc build and even a beam bank builds
- good inertia
I don't use the plasma lance, in fact I never use the universal consoles given with the ships, console slots are precious, and most of these uni consoles are meh.
the morrigu is great, but she has an average turn rate, strange shape (big wings), inertia not extraordinary, no enhanced battle cloak.
Faeht has Enhanced Battle Cloak (EBC) like the KDF B'Rel and Rom T'Varo. They're also lighter in hullpoints. But depending on your build and playstyle, that EBC opens up lots of options and luxuries not possible even with Battle Cloak ships. These ships excel in hit & run style attacks and not slow moving or immobile "turret style" Escort play because the ships' shields and hull don't stand up well to punishment. Faeht, like B'Rel and T'Varo, is highly maneuverable.
Mogai OTOH is the more traditional "Escort" styled Warbird. Robust and great power management due to the set bonus. The BOFF layout on T6 Mogai is fabulously flexible and you can get pretty creative with her. Her having Intel access gives even more power options that few Warbirds can even dream of approaching.
Between the 2 ships, for most players I would recommend the Mogai. It's a more straight forward Warbird with some very powerful options. I would only recommend a Faeht / B'Rel / T'Varo style of ship only for those that know how to excel in lighter hulled ships, know how to take advantage of the Enhanced Battle Cloak. When Delta Rising hit, there were a bunch of players complaining about how weak the Faeht was. They were trying to "turret" or some playstyle that does not fit what the ship is meant for. But guys that did take her on that had time in the older T'Varo were doing just fine with her, making full use of her capabilities.
it is not exactly true, the faeht can take a lot of damages; if you want more, that just doing dps.
Allow me to Clarify, I perfer the Morrigu to the Faeht. I perfer the T5U T'varo to the Faeht. I like the Pilot ships more than the Faeht. I just find the Faeht a bit too squishy for me. I use my T'varo to dogfight, EBC is to reposition for the next strafe or a quick escape.
Flying it gives the impression of using a highly advanced and complicated machine in contrast to the raw and efficient T5 B'rel. Made it into a stealth bomber but also have a Cannon setup with rear torps for some cloaked fire, and test flights were very promising considering how effectively everything blew up without attracting much fire. Still need to use it more as I barely got the gear upgraded, then the kemo lag started, so got no parse still. One thing's for sure though: it's a ship like no other.
