I think a combination ranked + asset is a reasonable compromise.
It is possible to say, "I like you but not your friends", especially

(Extra note)
I am thinking of political parties here. Many voters cast non-party
based voting in PR-STV elections, but candidates are likely to only
transfer within the party.
OTOH, there's no particular reason (save logistics) that a ranked
ballot couldn't be completed according to some ranking other than that
provided by a candidate. A voter could point explicitly to a
candidate's ranking, or a party's ranking, or the Sierra Club's
ranking, whatever, to finish off a ballot.
