A compromise between single and double elim is what our local ASA association does for their championship - it's a shortened double elim where they don't play the last 3 games. The last 2 undefeated teams in the winners bracket play for 1st and 2nd place; the rest of the teams play for 3rd place in the losers bracket.
The time saved on those last 3 games for just 3 teams can be used to make the games longer for all the teams. It's also safer for the players in terms of overuse injuries.
