How about a mixed system? First, have a Supreme Court (or whatever we want to call it) whose membership is fixed in number and determined through an election process such as governs Arbcom now.

That approach seems the most reasonable one I've heard of yet. I would add the provision that the ArbCom (or whatever you call the highest level judicial body) has the authority to veto candidates for magistrates, and to dismiss those who prove unsuitable later on.
