A combination of the two methinks -
Zerothly they need to be top decile by votes to even be considered and then the manual voting for articles from the cream takes place.

I would be worried about vote padding at either stage, but at both I think it would be unlikely. The final ranking would then be a combination of the two vote tallies using some complinated sums.
