But if Maedhros is High King, it will depart from the house of Feanor, because he's so noble he'll give up the crown to his uncle soon...

I don't think that is true.
Because we managed to avoid the kinslaying and all that, Feanor and his sons never ditched Fingolfin's host and left them in Valinor. Because of that, Maedhros has none of the guilt that he had in the book, and the people of Fingolfin have none of the emnity they had towards Feanor's house in the book. Those two things are what made Maedhros think it wise to hand over the crown in the book- but we avoided those two things, didn't we?
If we elect Maedhros now, he will not hand over the crown. He's the rightful king, and he won't feel bad about taking the crown.
He should definitely be picked before Fingolfin, because Fingolfin is probably going to be dying soon. For the sake of stability, we need a longer lived king.
And honestly, how can you pick Fingon or Turgon before Maedhros? Though after Fingolfin's death Fingon was considered the "high king", it is quite obvious in the book that Maedhros was the leader of the forces of good. Remember, there was an alliance of men, elves, and dwarves that nearly defeated Morgoth in the Fifth Battle of Beleriand, Nirnaeth Arnoediad.
Do you remember what that alliance was called? Was it called Friends of Fingon? No. Was it called Turgon's Triumvirate? No.
It was called the UNION OF MAEDHROS!
Maedhros was Morgoth's primary opponent, even while Fingolfin was alive. From the Silmarillion-

When nearly one hundred years had run since the Dagor Aglareb, Morgoth endeavoured to take Fingolfin at unawares (for he knew of the vigilance of Maedhros); and he sent forth an army....

As you can see, Maedhros appears to be more on the ball than even Fingolfin.
Maedhros is, without a doubt, the logical choice for king.
And another thing- don't worry about the relationships between the House of Feanor and Thingol, because the griefs that were between them in the books did not happen here. We prevented the kinslaying!
And so, for king...
+ + Maedhros
Our task is appointing a king, and simply electing Maedhros will solve that. The ONLY WAY we'll have TROUBLE with the task of appointing a KING is if we PASS OVER Feanor's house, thus causing a DISPUTE in the claim.
LISTEN to me, everyone. There is not a good reason to pass over Maedhros, and so if we unwisely do so PROBLEMS will come of it.
You NEED to vote for MAEDHROS for KING.
