"Socially-conservative/economic leftist" for me because having unconditional access to security and our most basic material needs is more important than being accepted and loved by most other people, and would still allow for a lot of deviant folks to conceal their true selves enough in most instances to carry on with mostly satisfactory lives.
The "liberal-libertarian" option would be more problematic. It would likely set up society mostly free and wondrous for those who can afford it but comparatively miserable and oppressive for those who - whether by actions of their own or through culminating events beyond their control - descend into an impoverished underclass of people who live day-to-day and must focus on survival and occasional, fleeting pleasures of the moment rather than investing in their own personal development.
In the U.S. I would choose Christian socialism over the prescriptions of the Libertarian Party any day.
