Word count is still the most reliable indicator of books size but as long as you compare apples to apples, almost any algorithm is useful for most books.
OTOH, debating which algorithm is "best" belongs in a humour forum.

Biggest caveat for word count is different languages. I read in english and german and german words are having more characters on avarage.
But yeah each option has pros and cons.
