Personally I like the "Swedish circle", just to keep it simple, you know?

How about NSG?

You know, your favorite method for analyzing the stability of a earthen slope.

Yes, because I enjoy doing that all day long.

Bishop's method, because it is deterministic.

depends on how steep the slope is, doesnt it?

Bishop's simplified? or do you prefer a more rigorous analysis?

Not particularly, although one should consider the geologic conditions.

Depends on the complexity of the problem, doesn't it? No need to use special relativity for simple projectile motion at speeds much less than c.
