I would say Necrophagist, but I dunno too much about that genre. Could be someone even more technical, a feet which I can not imagine.

hardest band 2 c0ver....
 
Meh, get any shredder who has been playing for awhile and they could easily cover Necrophagist. I'd say something incredibly slower, like Sunn 0))) would be the hardest.
 
I would hate to try cover Cynic... The bass parts in particular are very hard and not always on a bass :S How many guys do you know that own a chapman stick?

Other then that, covering Slipknot would be interesting as you would need to find 9 members including a turntablist and someone with a keyboard that can handle a ton of samples and then have guitars just lying around somewhere in drop A or drop B tuning.
 
Tbh assuming you mean straight covers which just sound as much like the original as possible... something with a really unique vocalist would be hardest. Necrophagist / Racer X / Joe Satriani.. loads of people can play that stuff with ease.
