Betting Structure Theory

[TGoldman]

I've been thinking about various poker games and the different betting structures for each game. Specifically three main types of betting structures:

1) Limit
2) Pot-Limit
3) No-Limit

Is there a fundamental aspect of a generic poker game that makes it more conducive to be played using a particular betting structure? For example, Omaha high is usually played using a Pot-Limit betting structure. From my understanding, most players consider limit Omaha high to be boring and tedious. The reverse is true for Pot-Limit Omaha/8. This game is rarely played outside of the internet and most PLO/8 authors admit that the Pot-Limit betting structure results in a dying game. As a result, limit Omaha/8 is the main betting structure for the game. What accounts for this difference? Also, what about Omaha makes it difficult to be played using the No-Limit structure? Why is a game like Hold'em able to be played using all three different betting structures? I'm wondering if there is some general concept that governs the best choice of betting structure for a particular poker game?
