No form of HU poker is going to rank high, as they can actually be fully solved mathematically. (Yes, including deep stack NL hold'em.) It has to be atleast a threehanded game.

Could you explain this more please? I don't quite buy it yet.

A mathematical discipline aptly called Game Theory can be used to solve problems such as this. Now, GT solutions won't allow you to win, they'll only completely stop you from losing. (Which against an opponent with even a single leak will amount to the same thing in the long run.)

However, once a third player is added to the mix many of the equations are no long solvable.

Poker has to be multiway to be really complex. Now, I don't think any human can do the required equations in their head, but it's trivial to have a bot play flawless HU poker. (It's still very, very hard to make a bot that takes advantage of any leaks you happen to have.)

The Poker Academy Pro has a couple of GT HU bots for hold'em in them.
