PROPER (keyboard PROPER) Jazz.
I think its ridiculous to talk about orchestra as a genre in this context.
As far as traditionally EDM goes, I still believe good Trance is the hardest. It requires more complex layering, more harmony, etc.
With techno you can break chord and scale rules left and right and you usually don't have 3 different layers of music going at once like you do with Trance.
The same goes for House....I find house incredibility easy to make. It's almost a joke. Of course some house is tough, but there are hardly any rules. Just stay in key and create an upbeat, or deep, or whatever style, house track.
I feel the same way about Electro although some Electro is finally starting to incorporate melody (aka difficulty increaser) in it for a nice "Electrance" feel. Electro used to be just a wankers trying to see who could create the "coolest" sound - Thank god it's slowly getting away from that.
I'd rather the new indie disco stuff right up there with Trance. In my opinion, anytime you've got multiple layers running which is common in Trance and ni-disco, the difficulty increases dramatically. The engineering becomes MUCH more difficult and you have to worry about everything harmonizing perfectly. That's rarely the case with Techno, House, whatever.
Just my 2 cents
