We once performed a poll on the wiki. There was also a separate mailing
list where this topic was discussed.

Here are the wiki links:
http://wiki.electorama.com/wiki/Method_evaluation_poll
http://wiki.electorama.com/wiki/Method_support_poll

I think I'd have to update my answers somewhat.

There are a number of Condorcet methods that I would support even though I
don't think they're the best. There are others that I wouldn't support.

The winning votes versions of Schulze, Tideman, and Jobst's River method
seem to have an advantage in that it is hard to find other Condorcet
methods that satisfy criteria that they don't.
