I think that Condorcet//Approval is an ok method. I made a revision to
it that preserves Approval's feature that you never need to use favorite
betrayal:

However, this procedure is easily undermined when every serious candidate
simply has a "running mate" nominated with him.

I would guess that if you searched the EM archives you would find 
literally dozens of proposed methods that combine approval with a pairwise
measure.
