Recently I have been trying to learn a few of the different poker games to try and make myself a more rounded player and also so I can start playing at the dealers choice tables that crop up in a few of the local cardrooms.
It seems that when playing dealers choice it would be an advantage to get competent at which ever game offers the greatest positional advantage and call that when on the button. Question is - which game is that? (Most of the games I have seen are usually 7-10 players)

omaha hi-lo is a very positional game, but rubbish is still rubbish and you can only loosen up slightly. Unless you're so good you can call with anything reasonable against a predictable player and just take his money away when he doesn't hit.
As for loosening up requirements I think NL or PL triple draw would be a game where you can seriously loosen up on the button.

I've noticed that position tends to be more important in games without open cards, like 5 Card Draw and Triple Draw. Whether or not position is "most" important in these of all forms of poker, I have no idea.

I have never seen 5cd being played at these dealers choice games - Usually it is a full table so I guess that's why. Also NL is rare (I'm in the UK and the majority of cardrooms stick to pot limit apart from in tournies.
From my very limited experience with the two variants of omaha, I think Omaha Hi might be the way to go...

Omaha Hi.
Limit 5cd at least doesn't seem to be as positional as people make it out to be. It's a very read intensive game as once you're put on a style you're pretty much drawing dead.
