I never liked ladders where there are no points and you just move up so many spots for winning. I prefer a scoring system, but one that has an actual formula (probably like ELO, not sure what that is). Maybe what you could do is have an option for members to put in their own scoring formula (or to use a true ladder system with no points). That way you can make everyone happy.

Also, one question. Is there a way to edit members score or position, so that I could transfer my old ladder (done by hand) into this?

Edit: Just went and read about the ELO rankings, and they look very nice. I would definitely install this if you were able to put that formula in. The formula itself looks pretty complicated, but if you read the mathematical details section in the wikipedia link above, it really isn't that difficult. I'm not a coder so I don't know how much work that would take, but it doesn't seem like it would be overly difficult.
