Bone wars electric bugaloo. In the end you really do need a way to discern who is having an appreciable impact in a field in order to know who to fund. I have yet to hear a meaningful metric for that though.

Edit: I should clarify, the other option is strictly political through an academy of sciences and has historical awfulness associated with it as well.
