There isn't really a debate here - the answer is DOPE or SOAP.

molpdf is the Modeller scoring function, so it is always output - we can't build models without it. Modeller computes no assessment functions by default. Note that an assessment function and a scoring function are not the same thing, and are designed to solve different problems (assessment shows how like a "normal protein" your model is; scoring shows how like the template it is).
Restraint violations are an indication of problems with your inputs (the alignment, typically). You shouldn't use them to rank models.
