Inside box is usually the least attractive option IMO because of its unpredictability, there is no telling when the GE will go crazy and assign whichever player it calculates as best defender. However with M2M defense, as stated by other users before me, you can be sure that if you assign a high OD player against him that would be the preferred matchup for the rest of the game at least.

Is high OD enough? Or that player should have adequate ID and SB skills?

High OD should be enough for guarding outside skills. If you have bigs that have high ID and SB that would be nice to have in a 3-2 defense too.

At the risk of channeling Captain Obvious, the game manual suggests the following; and while the PBP does its best to keep secret who it is the "fifth defender" is guarding (why that is I have no idea) this is consistent with my experience:

Inside Box-and-One: The fifth defender focuses on the opponent's best inside scorer. Normal pace.

Outside Box-and-One: The fifth defender focuses on the opponent's best outside scorer. Normal pace.
