Xanax has the shortest half-life so is easier to get dependent (since you need to take more) and harder to go off (for the same reason, the drop in effect after stopping is more dramatic and abrupt).
Valium's main metabolite has a long half-life (approximately 96 hours, give or take, if I 'm not misremembering).
Klonopin is also a very long-acting drug, I think-- although I don't know any details on that.
But it's not that hard to handle xanax, as long as you stay below the range where addiction can set in.
