Hmm, it depends. :)

Play Party if you are comfortable with pushbotting.
Play FT or PS if you're better at post-flop play.
PS Turbos if you're looking for something in between.

PS Turbos can be easy or very difficult, depending on how you're running. Lately, I've been running pretty badly, so I have been suffering a lot of suckouts at the bubble.

PS Turbos have the toughest turbo competition I've seen. Still, I'm making a decent profit there. BoDog had the easiest turbo competition. I've never played FTP SNGs, so I cannot comment on that.

Since you just missed out on PS reload bonus, I'd recommend going elsewhere. The PS Turbos I've been playing generally have at least 2 or 3 tight-aggressive players who will make playing on the bubble hell. You'll open-raise 3x on the CO with KTs and many times one of the blinds will go all-in over the top of you and you really cannot call here. I've had to stop attempting so many steals (until I have 10x BB or less, then I'm just pushing in the first place and don't have to worry about someone going over the top). On most sites, you can raise almost any two cards on the button or cut-off and 90% of the time either take down the blinds uncontested or at least see a flop.

Then again... it really depends what kind of competition you want. For easiest competition out of those three, Party is the clear winner. Once you understand push-botting (I made a post on it a few weeks ago) you should be able to easily beat the Party SNGs. Plus, Party SNGs are ridiculously easy to multi-table since there's little post-flop play once the blinds reach 50/100.

If you want a challenge with post-flop play, go with FTP or PS SNGs. If you want a challenge with post-flop and pre-flop play, go with PS Turbos.
