Any theme that has both a gtk2 and gtk3 version should mostly work. 

adwaita-gtk2-theme.x86_64
albatross-gtk2-theme.noarch
albatross-gtk3-theme.noarch
bluebird-gtk2-theme.noarch
bluebird-gtk3-theme.noarch
clearlooks-phenix-gtk2-theme.noarch
clearlooks-phenix-gtk3-theme.noarch
egtk-gtk2-theme.noarch
egtk-gtk3-theme.noarch
greybird-gtk2-theme.noarch
greybird-gtk3-theme.noarch
light-gtk2-theme.noarch
light-gtk3-theme.noarch
zukini-gtk2-theme.noarch
zukini-gtk3-theme.noarch
zukitwo-gtk2-theme.noarch
zukitwo-gtk3-theme.noarch
zukiwi-gtk2-theme.noarch
zukiwi-gtk3-theme.noarch

Or any locally installed one in ~/.themes that has both gtk2/gtk3. 

Of course some have bettter coverage than others...

Well, adwaita is supposed to (it has a gtk2 version as well). 

In the end it's somewhat personal preference...
