Good point, I unintentionally went off-topic thinking "hardest to hone" rather than "hardest to maintain". Different questions.

For me, ease of maintenance boils down to how good an edge I got in...

Nope, not at all. When I quickly hone up a few nice full hollows into sticky-sharp marvels with little effort, and get overconfident, I go back to honing a wedge. Any wedge. Humbling.
