Might it be reasonable to weigh the selection with the selectivity of the filter? I.e. weight = 1.0/(abs(number_of_ones_in_filter - number_of_zeros_in_filter)) (or, instead, weighing by the ones density compared to other peers?) Regardless of the security properties, some kind of density based weighing is probably be desirable in terms of traffic balancing to avoid nodes with dense filters capturing too much of the traffic.
