OAuth 1.0a is far too complex. OAuth 2.0 for the simple and common cases is not that bad since there's no signature to generate. Most of the issues from OAuth 2 stem from a fluid spec that wasn't finalized until recently. Now that that's done hopefully the situation will stabilize and once you learn how to use one (I also recommend making the requests directly yourself and not using a library) you'll easily be able to use all the others without having to search out all the quirks I wrote about in this post.
