All those teep variants are also very fighter dependent too. Some people like to teep flat on the foot, I've always liked to teep with the ball of my foot so that it drives in more. Just differences in preference and style too
Best balance I've seen on one leg I've seen in MMA was Cain Velasquez vs Brock Lesnar, I can't remember if it was a caught kick or an attempt at a single, but Cain hops on one leg the entire length of the cage and doesn't go down.
There's also the added fact that while Thai's have very good balance, they also have an advantage in their sport in that they can't be osoto'd.
Not in a fight but BJ's balance was always impressive (though he's much lighter than Cain):
The gif above doesn't really show his balance...more so an impressive way to prevent a takedown.
