Mixed systems are the best systems. Any government would collapse under any PURE ideology. We're supposed to be a Representative Democracy, but the best things in our society are the Socialist things - Public schools, parks, libraries, roads, highways, bridges, military, fire departments, etc. I'd add police departments, but I don't think they belong under the best Socialist things in our society.
The best system is one that combines the best ideas from other systems, and avoids the worst ideas. It can get messy around the edges, but overall, "Keep the best, reject the rest," is good government policy.
What exactly is the worst idea here? Redistribution of wealth?
