Hepburn makes the most sense to me as someone who uses both English and Japanese.

In Kunreishiki, rules like:

Long vowels are indicated by a circumflex accent: long o is written ô.

make no sense to me.

As an example, there are many possible variations for the famous baseball player 大谷翔平:

  • OHTANI Shohei (I think this is his preference)
  • OOTANI Shouhei
  • ŌTANI Shōhei
  • OTANI Syouhei
