Since lock screen patterns leave clearly visible finger smudges on the screen any pattern is not sufficiently secure, no matter what policy you want to apply (except for that cute little piece of news from last year where that drug dealer had such a complex pattern on his phone that the police could not unlock it. Maybe just an urban legend).
Anyway... I'd probably rule out patterns with just three or less dots and I'd also forbid typical and symmetrical shapes like S, Z, straight lines, hour glass...
