Easiest: Skoldus Hall, Fracture Chambers, Upper Reaches
Medium: Soulforges, Mort'regar (ravenous cells to negate the fire damage and black puddle damage make these floors easier)
Hate: Coldheart Interstitia. Least favorite wing with annoying mechanics (aoe galore, fears, high hp, etc.).
I cleared Layer 8 TC last week (4th attempt) and got Coldheart as first wing (woohoo!) and Skoldus as final wing. It was cake. My first attempt at Layer 8, I got Coldheart as my final wing and it was a nightmare.
it widely depends on the spec / class of the player.
as a side note, playing as fire in twisting corridors is pure fun. 0,5 sec blink cd + mirror image when blinking + intelligent mirror images = trivial run. i just completed layer 7 on my mage, which is only pvp geared and 200 ilvl, and i didnt even touch the last boss once. gazillion of mirror images killed the boss for me

war does not determine who is right, only who is left.
The easiest wing for me is Soulforges, the de buff becomes a nonissue by floor 4 because of the Ravenous anima cell. Toss it at a forge master and you get a 65% reduction to fire damage from Flamestarved Cinders. in contrast, Coldheart interstitia is the hardest for me, I have never beaten twisting above layer 4 after getting Coldheart, bosses have way to much health, even after getting all the best powers for my spec multiple times.
I got really lucky for my layer 8 clear run, it was 2 Soulforges and a Mort'regar. If you are having problems clearing layer 8 I recommend resetting if you don't get an optimal start. Sure its cheesy but it got me my win.
All the same.
I do think that Coldheart Interwhatever is the most annoying, with lots of fearing mobs and the diving dudes that can one-shot, whilst also having the biggest possible areas.
You can get the same wing multiple times in Twisting Corridors.
Also Torments remain through different wings in Twisting Corridors. The first wing you enter starts at 8 stacks, and increases every floor for the rest of the run. When you hit layer 7, usually you get 1 stack of a new torment, but you can be unlucky and get the same one again. This is not ideal for Soulforges, as it means you have the fire dot for the entire run.
Upper Reaches is a right pain if you're solo and you get the Revendreth caster boss. That dude is kind of impossible unless you're in some sort of meme spec/build.
You are missing the point. If Mort is your first wing at TC 8, then at level 18, your magic damage stack will be at 11 while the other two will be at 6. The reason for this discrepency is that at layer 8 you get an initial stack of debuffs (Just like normal Torghast). But at level 7 and 13 where you get into the new wings, they always start at 1. So by making the first wing the easiest, you getting 11 stacks of easy debuffs at lvl 6+
The first wing you get will have the highest stack if you are TC 4+
Easiest wing is by far the fire one. Get the orb from the frist vendor use it on one of the casters and get the firedmg reduce power. You take nearly no damage at all anymore.
