While I agree a declared FAI triangle is the most challenging, the long out and return also deserves special recognition. For a given distance, the O&R requires you to fly the furthest from your final destination possible. Also a 1000km O&R will normally take you to different weather.
It feels insane to be 300 miles from home and still fly in the opposite direction...
