Probiably creepers.. In hard difficulty creepers dont stop exploding if you move away, but in easy they wont explode if you move away fast enough so just sprint through the pack of creepers on hard mode and you will chop them down at a decent rate.
30 zombies even if they multiply to 150 just walk in circles around them they cant do much to me
unless those children are around then I would run for the hills
I decided to put together a bundle of all the choices in separate worlds, you can download this and then extract them into your "Saves" folder to try them out.
I just did it quickly so some may start you in worse situations than others, and some have to start at night which may cause other mobs to spawn.
100 Creepers
Pretty fun, just need to run through them a few times and then finish off the remaining ones.
50 Skeletons
Infighting kills most of them off and the ones left are weak, but still pretty challenging when you have even 5 shooting at you at once, almost died.
30 Zombies
Pretty easy, just circle around them killing them off. Sword barely just managed to kill them all though, and some joined in from spawned mobs.
20 Spiders and 10 Cave Spiders
Lots of interference from other mobs and a bad start spot, but not too hard once you get a pattern going.
40 Silverfish
Quite repetitive due to how many of them there are, but not really any challenge because of how little damage they do. Just need to go around killing them all.
10 Endermen and 1 Skeleton
The skeleton is easily dealt with. After that you just need to slowly kill off the endermen using a 2 high roof.
1 Wither and 30 Ghasts
It's hectic at first, but easily possible to kill all the ghasts (the wither actually purposefully helps), but you would need pretty good gear to do all that and then kill the wither too. In the end the wither owned me.
It depends on what I have with me,blast protection and diamonds sword:Creepers
Projectile Protection,bow and arrows skeletons.Smite and Protection zombies.
Bane of arthropodes,milk buckets and protection:spiders and cave spiders.
Bane of arthropodes and protection with some damage potions silverfish.
Blocks to make a 2 block high area,Sharpness and both projectile and tegus at protection enderman and skeleton.
All protection all potions milk buckets smite and sharpness,wither and ghast.For the enderman and skeleton part I MENT to say thorns
For the challenge of it? 1 Wither 30 Ghast. I don't think that'll be easy. The wither can only be shot with bows until it's half health and I doubt it's easy to try deflecting 30 fireballs plus Wither effect on you while attempting this.
For the easy route? 30 Zombies. Even with the multiplication into account of 1.6, they are a slow mob, very easy to just walk around and kill.
Creepers. If you put all your stuff in a chest and go empty-handed you can just punch one and they all blow up and die. You die too, but the creepers are gone and you can go back to punching wood. With any of the others if you die you still have to go back and fight.

I would rather fight either 100 creepers, or 30 zombies. I can outrun the zombies, and kill them off after a while. Or I could use strategic creeper explosions to kill other creepers.
They will try to shoot me but instead, they will start to shoot each other because of Mob AI.
Good luck doing that with mobgriefing on.

You won't be saying that when you're dead...
But, I think I'd go with 100 creepers since they're pretty easy to get away from.
Useless things, the concept of our minds.
Awesome man! Could I put it on the original post?
Edit: This is actually insanely difficult.

*what gear I had and what type of environment I would be in.
Assume you just spawned.
Endermen, even if they all are angry, just dig for few blocks of dirt and make a two high roof, and walk the skeleton until it dies.
