Depend's, what is your objective, are you looking to impress the listner, like franz Liszt, generally speaking playing a fast and flashy piece is less difficult than a slow adagio by Beethoven , personally i find performing a fast piece under pressure less demanding . So yeah an adagio might sound flashy.

that makes sense, and thats what I was thinking. I play the sonata very well and very fast, So I guess that would be the most obvious choice, but people literally cry when they hear the debussy.... I lOaTh choices.

Some composition have slow and fast sections, so it might be a good idea to learn a piece that have fast and slow sections, for example clair de lune by Debussy.
