I can agree with your choices, but I have to say I feel like 120s are what is impressive nowadays. At least among the high level community. I always admire a 120 Farming cape.
120s are definitely bigger accomplishments nowadays, but I don't think that should diminish 99s. It still takes a good amount of time to achieve them. Can be harder for some than others. Especially for someone like me who was F2P for so long and only got a 99 skill for the first time a few years ago, 99s still have meaning. In a sense, 120s are what 99s used to be since for many, it's not an achievable or desirable goal.

Well if you're talking about today then Invention since the skill hasn't even been out for a week yet, but not counting that then I'd probably say skills like Agility, Divination, and Runecrafting mainly because the fact that they are some of the slowest skills in game and so take more patience to achieve 99 in. Still much easier to get 99s nowadays than it was years ago though of course.
I was going to put a caveat in there that Invention doesn't count or shouldn't be considered since it's new, but its still a skill nonetheless so I didn't say anything. It goes without saying that a new skill will be rare and hard to train quickly.
I do consider "gathering" skills like RC and Div to be difficult just because the experience isn't great and it takes more time than other skills to level.
