There's a ton of different variants and rules surrounding DKP systems. A simple decay system would prevent DKP buildup with set item prices. Or you can go for a suicide kings type of system. Bidding is perfectly fine too but I prefer when its out in the open and not blind. I've been in several guilds over the years with open bids in /gu and it works great. I like as much transparency as possible so there's no question whether or not someone is being shady behind the scenes.

I've said before and I'll say again. I wouldn't trust myself to be fair if I got to decide who gets loot. I would absolutely without question be biased in favor of my friends and people I liked more than those who might deserve it more. So that being the case I find it a little ridiculous for anyone to expect me to completely trust a random elf council more than I'd trust myself with the same job.
We also use decay. It's not that simple really. Like I said, the dkp is moving a lot better now with the bidding. Open bidding is fine also. I'm a skeptic myself only because of most of the trash I have seen on p99 and other games. Most of the people in our guild are older and less pixel lusty. We've been around the block. Don't have time for the petty shit. It's a good fit for me.
