What's your favorite voting rule? e.g. FPTP, single transferable vote, (kbin.melroy.org)

Now obviously we all espouse ranked voting, but the most popular rule—the single transferable vote—is known to sometimes eliminate candidates for getting too many votes, which is what happened in the 2022 Alaska special election (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monotonicity_criterion#Runoff_voting for an explanation of how this happens).

So, which voting rule do you like the most? I'm new to this world, but so far the Dowdall system seems like a good compromise.
