I think it's fair to have a few wards using the FCFS, with the majority using the lottery system. Means the people who want to, can try their hand at a housing rush. Meanwhile, the rest can just enter the lottery on one of the many lottery plots.
Either way, the forums will still end up getting flooded with complaints. The only difference being that most of them will be about RNG, rather than others being faster.
Any still using the FCFS system in my opinion is too much. The system punishes people who have commitments outside of this game or who live in north america and can't get up at 3am to try to be the first to get to a plot.
As others have said too, there is a problem with FCFS allowing players to attempt to rush a house and if they don't get it, also enter lotteries afterwards.

All Lottery is the way to go, it's the most fair system that allows everyone to have an equal shot instead of unfairly punishing certain types of players or certain regions. There's no benefit to FCFS over it.
