I would definitely vote for something that allowed me to specify in absolute terms the amount of effort I reckon is involved in a task (in hours or days).
Note: in my terminology: effort is the actual time I spend working on something; elapsed time is the difference between the end date/time and the start date/time for the task. Effort is easier to estimate - how long something actually takes depends crucially on the amount of time that one can spend working on it.
