Elo

I think elo would be great so long as only live tournament play is considered and players had no choice over whether matches are rated or not.

Personally, I am very cynical about elo, because I have three elo's and they're widely different:

1450 - from live play on the American Backgammon Tour

1714 - from online tournament play in a league that plays on Safe Harbor. There are no Giants who play there. From matches that I've recorded, the average PR of my opponents is 16.

6008 - from a web site called Pogo where I could pick and choose who I played. Some of my opponents created artificially high elo's by creating multiple id's and "playing" them against each other. I no longer play on that site.
