I feel the firing squad is more humane, or maybe the guillotine? If your neck doesnt break instantly from the fall of the noose, you could hang there choking for minutes, eyes bulging, tongue, no that is pretty awful.
I know the guillotine looks gruesome from the spectator point of view, but have your head clean sliced off in seconds probably is the least painful way to go because it is instantaneous.
Sniper rifle fire, simultaneous shots with large caliber bullets to the head and heart at the same time might be pretty quick as well.

Ah, but you discount the value of the public spectacle. When younger people who might be inclined to commit similar crimes see someone hanging from a rope gasping for air with their eyes bulging out, maybe the will leave an impression on them.

I would like to see the return of the breaking wheel for the worst offenders. Make them suffer and make it a spectacle.
