I'd say Klonopin, although I haven't tried MAOIs. And really, benzos are very rarely "addictive" -- it's just that they cause dependency with continued use, which means that if you go off them you have to taper down the dose gradually. The same is true of most antidepressants and many non-psychiatric drugs.

The other concern is tolerance (the need for more and more of a med to get the same effect). Among benzos, Klonopin seems least problematic in this respect, whereas Xanax is notorious for this.
