You can't go wrong with any of them, but gun to my head, I'd say look into Mouse Guard or Dungeon World.
Mouse Guard
Mouse Guard...is just down right fun. While combat is certainly part of the game, it's got a heavy emphasis on problem solving in encounters over straight up murderhobo-ing your way through the game. It's my go to game for one shots. Perfect for when you need a break in the middle of a long campaign in another system, or if just not enough people show up for a session in your primary campaign. Not that you couldn't run a long campaign in Mouse Guard, that'd be rad.
Dungeon World
Dungeon World is also another great game for one shots, IMHO. Need to work on your improv? Play Dungeon World. It's a very narrative driven game that heavily encourages collaborative world building with your players. Additionally, if you discard all of the rules on classes and combat, the rest of the system is an amazing compliment to any other game system you want to run. It's GMing section is honestly the missing manual for D&D or any other system you want to run. And hell, Fronts are a great way to organize an adventure or long campaign.
Edit: A few other options that came to mind
>Also interested in the idea of critical causing effects like scars and trips rather than a simple number modifier.
FATE might be something to look in to. It is genre-less and it doesn't deal with hitpoints etc so much as it deals with consequences of success and failure.

What caught my interest is that the FATE Core System book is on sale too.
Anyone have any input on it? I've only seen was SomethingWhittyGaming's (The Sword Art Online Abridged guys) what-ended-up-a-one-shot run of a My Hero Academia game. Although when the second episode landed and they were using a different tabletop RPG system it generated one of my favorite lines: "Are you alright?" "No I'm not, she knocked the flying out of me!"
Check out FATE Core and FATE Accelerated. They are both "pay what you like (including free)". FATE Acceleratedin booklet form is only $5. FATE Core is less than $25 shipped.
