Default Best single game for determination of heads-up skill?

Opinions need here, folks.

What game do you guys think is best to determine heads-up skill? Ideally, it would be multiple games, but we're talking only one game here - one form of poker.

I've heard arguments for Stud H/L or Limit hold'em, myself. Your opinions?

Deepstacked NLHE.

Or maybe NL 5-stud. I've read here and elsewhere that this game takes more skill and less luck than anything else.

I say No-Limit texas hold'em, but NOT in a tournament structure. The better player has a huge edge in No-Limit hold'em over a weaker opponent.

Blind man's bluff. No doubt at all.
