I like Cambreth just fine -- but it's overplayed, and No Quarter has a much stronger story. Regardless, those were easily the two strongest songs in the category -- none of the other songs were really "songs to live or die by" and both songs are awfully good.
Re the other topic, I think seeding (either naturally or artificially) with heavy-weight people is definately the way you get multiple medium-weight filk circles.
The best approach I've seen for this is OVFF's theme filks -- which tend to draw enough reasonable weight people to bleed people off of the main filk while putting them in small enough rooms that they're size limited. Officially assigning leaders or moderators with high weights isn't a bad approach, but is a bit more artificial, and people have to recognize and care about the problem.
