I think it too much depends on the individual. For most, though, probably lust because it's the most primitive and basic drive (and the one most likely to be repressed).

I agree with Jonathan. It depends on every individual. But I would like to say that lust is more difficult to control, because sex is an implanted program in your mind and body. You can live without anger or greed, but can you live without sex? Only a few people can cope with it.
Actually, sex is good, but when you do not control it it becomes lust, and it is not good for your life. Sex is just like fire in your house: normally you can't afford to lose it, but if you do not control it you will be destroyed.

Again, something which can ONLY be determined on an individual-basis. For me personally, I think it has got to be anger.
It`s definitely NOT LUST (sex) becuase there is a lot of time for that, and I just DO NOT WANT say anything about greed, cuz I believe that HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY!

Oddly enough, one part of your brain is the source of all those emotions - the Amygdala. It is that primal section of your brain that controls our base desires. As we grow into adults, we are constantly fighting the "little brain" under our frontal lobes as it is relaying messages about sex, anger and base desires (greed is one). The emotion that consumes an individual is one that the individual has not learned to control - and control is a developmental process.
So to answer your question, the degree of difficulty varies on the person and their developmental control of their base desires.

Greed
It disguises itself as necessity, frugality, capitalism, and even generosity.
Anger and lust are easy to identify, and therefore control. But greed is insidious, and as such survives even when the person attempts to control it.
By the way, some actually define lust as greed.

For me it's definitely anger. I can control the other two.

Well that depends on your particular personality- for me probably lust, but I think envy would be a common one.
