As well as the pilot's skills, it also depends on the environment.
In an open flat place with plenty of thermals and many small fields the answer might be something like a PW-5, Ka6, or 1-26.
In another place with no landable farms but long airfields spaced far apart, winds, strong lift and strong sink it might be essential to have a glider with high L/D (and desirable water ballast and high rough air speed).
