Other Sports What is the Best System to Control Player Movement and Economics?

The Pujols atrocity has put me into a state of rumination. That, combined with the unprecedented Chris Paul trade veto makes me wonder a couple of things:

1) Which sport's player movement system is the best?

A) Baseball: Luxury tax, revenue sharing, no cap. High compensatory picks for elite free agents lost (but no longer for mid level FAs), slotted draft salaries.

B) Basketball: Soft cap, salary floor, luxury tax, maximum contract levels.

C) Football: Soft cap, franchise tag, salary floor, low level compensatory picks for lost free agents

D) Hockey: Hard cap, maximum player salary (20%)

2) What would be the ideal system that would best balance rewarding owner competence, fan interest, but also give the players the right to ply their trade where they would prefer?
