British Columbia is holding a postal ballot referendum on their current electoral system between today and November 30th. If you were casting your ballot in it, how would you vote?

Some information about the possible replacements:

Dual-Member Proportional (DMP): Each riding gets two seats. The first seat goes to the candidate with the most votes, the second seat is awarded to whichever candidate on the ballot can help balance out proportionality in the legislature as designated by the popular vote.

Mixed-Member Proportional (MMP): The system currently used in New Zealand. Voters choose two representatives, one for their riding and another for their region. The riding seat goes to the candidate with the most votes, while the region seats are allocated to underrepresented parties in order to help the legislature match the popular vote.

Rural-Urban Proportional (RUP): A hybrid system based off of electoral models used in some Nordic countries. Voters in rural ridings elect their candidates using mixed-member proportional, while voters in urban ridings elect their candidates using the single transferable vote system (multiple member ridings whose candidates are elected using ranked choice voting).

 What system will likely have the lowest threshold?

Probably MMP at 3%, if they follow Bolivia's model. DMP has been suggested to need a threshold of 5%, while all I could find about RUP is that it would calculate thresholds after the election is over using the Droop quota due to its use of STV (which could potentially lead to higher thresholds).
