Re: What games are best/worst for maniacs, calling stations, etc.?
Best game for:
Maniac (aka loose-aggressive): Big-ante game where one starting hand is seldom a huge favorite over another, where there is alot of potential for suckouts and where bluffing is not a crucial element - hi-only stud, hi-only Omaha or low draw (maybe razz) . . . NOT holdem, Omaha-8 or hi-draw
Calling station(aka loose-passive): HUGE ante game of any of those suggested above
Rock(aka tight-passive): Small ante draw or holdem (spread limit, PL or NL) -
Tight/aggressive(tight-aggressive): Any game you can think of

Re: loose-passive or [extremely] loose-aggressive
There really is no best game; those listed are the least-worst games. These two groups will lose at any game with any ante structure (paradoxically for opposite reasons) but they'll lose less (and more slowly) at the games/ante structures mentioned.
