The best type of rig for high seas seasteading would be the semi-submersible platform.

This type of rig as it’s name suggests, is free floating using underwater pontoons and is relatively unaffected by ocean waves or seismic activity.

To avoid national jurisdiction it would need to be parked 200km away from the nearest land, and to avoid conflicting EEZ it would actually need to be placed 400km away from the nearest coastline so that it can eventually gain its own 200km EEZ circumference.
