"a convoluted argument" has the most negative connotation.
"Convoluted" implies needlessly twisted or confusing (suggesting poor clarity or obfuscation), while "complex" is fairly neutral and "intricate" often carries a positive or neutral sense of careful, detailed structure. Context can affect nuance, but "convoluted" is the most negative.
