The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Choosing between multinomial logit and multinomial probit models for analysis of unordered choice data (2007, methodology): “In the spirit of this argument, many researchers have used MNP to analyze their choice data without considering MNL (Alvarez et al 2000 and Schofield et al 1998, for example).”
Multinomial probit and multinomial logit: a comparison of choice models for voting research (2004, background): “Alvarez and Nagler (1995, 1998, 2001), Alvarez et al. (2000), Schofield et al. (1998), Lacey and Burden (1999) and Quinn et al. (1999) identify advantages of multinomial probit (MNP) analysis in these applications.”
Adaptation to Climate Change by Smallholder Farmers in Tanzania (2012, methodology): “Alternatively, this study employs a Multinomial Probit model (MNP) which does not impose the independence assumption and is shown to produce more accurate results than MNL (see, for example, Alvarez and Nagler 1998; Schofield et al. 1998; Alvarez et al. 2000; Dow and Endersby 2004).”
Modeling the interaction of parties, activists and voters: Why is the political center so empty? (2005, background): “For reasons explained in Alvarez and Nagler (1998) and Alvarez et al. (2000), models of this kind must satisfy the ‘Independence of Irrelevant Alternatives’ property (IIA), which may be overly restrictive for analyzing multiple-choice problems.”
