IRV is a decent option. I still think the beatpath method would be better, though, partly because IRV also forces a strict order (edit: and assumes transitive property). When a voter thinks two candidates are equally deserving, they should be allowed to reflect that opinion in their ballot.
I also think limiting the ranking to 3 can have a detrimental effect and could (probably) be mitigated without dramatically increasing the complexity of the computation. I have an exhaustive ballot "simulator" lying around somewhere that I'm fairly sure can be tweaked to use IRV vote reassignment rather than simulating a fresh round of votes. Handles up to ten candidates iirc.
Still, this is good stuff.
If I can get something working to allow more than 3 selections to be ranked, would you consider removing the limit of three?
