Clearly, your EV is highest when the players are willing to fold to your preflop raises and floop bets. If the opponents are maniacs or calling stations, you need good cards to win, period.

I'd play in it with maniacs/calling stations if they pay off when you hit. Although you may ante yourself to death / be forced to gamble with marginal stuff.

The best opponents for this structure would be weak-tighties.
