Given the amount of disagreement I sense, I think we'll need to wait for more people to chime in.

I currently can't imagine why I personally would want anything better than what we currently call time.time. For that reason, I like Cameron's proposal best. If and when I have a use case, I'll be able to query the system for the clock that has the best combination of desirable properties. Admittedly, by then the answer probably will be "time.time."
