I think everyone would agree on that.

Of what I've done so far... Arcatraz.
There are so many unforgiving one-mob pulls in there with 2-3 special abilities that, if someone
sneezes
or blinks or what-have-you at the same time as a mob uses a special ability, you wipe. And some stuff that's almost impossible to avoid that'll kill a person.
Zerekth Seeds a person and drops a shadow void on them? Death.
DPS isn't paying attention and an Entropic Eye uses the Doom Countdown ability? Death.
Felguard mob uses the punt/mortal strike attack at the same time? Almost a guaranteed wipe.
No detect invisibility? Probably going to wipe on the trash before Doomsayer/Warp-scryer a bunch because of the invisible succubi.
Healer isn't on the ball? Abyssals own the group.
It's not hard if everyone's on the ball for the entire hour/hour and a half it takes to do that, but not many 5-man groups can take that sort of pressure.
Not hard. Just absurdly unforgiving.

Durnholde or Arcatraz.
Shattered Halls is damn fun if you have a high-dps group and a good tank. I would never call it "hard" though.
Arcatraz is still my favorite instance in BC, though. I love everything about it. The first boss is near impossible in Heroic mode, but the knockback and random black holes make it so much fun. The dialog between the two demons is hilarious, and the last boss is amazing simply because of milhouse. As for trash, those eyes with the debuff that causes like 10,000 damage if you don't kill them fast enough make things very interesting. I love it anytime I get to go completely wild with DPS (I play a fire mage).
but it can be a headache if you don't have a decently geared/experienced group

After 2.1 nerfings only Arcatraz can be considered as hard heroic. Shadow Labyrynth is became one of easest heroics instead of hardes and some fixes to Shattered Halls on heroic mode making it not the easiest (like Shadow lab heroic) but not hard ever heroic.

From what I can remember, isn't Arcatraz supposed to be the most complex of the heroics? A lot of annoying abilities that didn't even phase a group on normal were ramped up like the Marked for Death, etc. I can't really remember, last I went there was before or after 2.1.
If you know all the tricks, much easier after a couple runs.
