Keeper? Draft Order?

So before the draft analysis comes out, Eric got me thinking about the future of this league. Here are a few of the options that I've thought of:

1) Keeper league - this would require a 3-4 year commitment and the money up front so that we don't have people bailing out on us left and right. There would have to be a penalty incurred for leaving early other than dire circumstances.

2) Draft Order
    a) Auction - Each team would start with a certain amount of cash and bid for players. I'm sure many of you guys are familiar with this. The best case for this is that every team gets a chance at each player.

    b) Auction with real money - It would be the same thing as above but the dollars you bid on players would be real money. There would be a salary cap and floor (approx $100 and $60 respectively) and other monies set aside for free agents. The prize money would fluctuate based on how much each person pays for the players.

    c) Derby - Brought to me by Cho: Each player gives me their preferred draft order prior to draft day (e.g. 1,9,3,4,6,2,7, etc.). I will pick names out of a hat and whoever gets first pick, will get the slot they want the most. That pick will then be removed from everybody else's list and we will continue on. So if we continue with the example, let's say Cho gets his name drawn first and he also has pick 1 as his top choice. He would get that and my top choice would no longer remain. Then, Eric gets his name picked and the next number on his list is 3 and my 3rd choice would disappear. If my name gets picked next, I would get the 9th pick. Even though my name got picked 3rd, I get my 2nd choice. I think more people will be pleased with their draft position this way.

Let me know what you guys think about both. Leave a comment with a) if you would commit to a keeper league or not next year (approx. $200) and b) which draft order you like (you can say you like the current state as well).
