I really don't think Digg would have very much write contention *per story*. Popular stories getting thousands of diggs usually do so over the course of a day or more, so it's really only a few writes per minute. Now if they were doing a write to a single object for every single digg, that would be high write contention. I'd suggest just implementing it the simplest way you can see, and try it.
