Default Home games skill factor...

Hi, ledies and gents!

I'd like to ask a question and would appreciate a few thoughts on the subject.

I'm wondering in which poker variant (NL/LHE, Stud or Stud8, Omaha or Omaha8) a skillfull player have the biggest edge over a non-deep thinking opponent (a player who playes only for fun of it and doesn't think to much about the game - a tipical home game player). I'm thinking in terms of one night game or a few hours of play.
It's a small stakes game.

I've been debating with friends but we couldn't find a definitive answer.

My two cents is that NLHE is probably most complicated game of them all, but there is a lot of bluffing and all in moves, so when money is not a big thing it's questionable... Stud is relatively simple and if you can remember all the cards you can do pretty well (maybe, lol) against opponents who chase a lot, plus there's one street more for betting. Omaha has the most luck involved, I think; there's just too many drawing possibilities so everything can happen.
I don't have much experience in Hi/Lo games...

Again, I'm talking about small stakes home game, not pro poker.

Any thoughts?

Thx.
