IMO Rach 1 is most difficult, Mozart is the easiest.  The rest all fall in the middle.  Learn liszt 2, Rach1, or Rach Pag. Just suggestions.

Never look at the trombones. You'll only encourage them.

I've heard people say that Liszt's No. 1 is relatively easy but I had a look at the score, and I'm like what?!??  :o

No way, those people are wrong.  Liszt 1 may be short and easy to memorize, but technically it isnt easy for most people.  It should take a long time to perfect.
