Many of these methods can (I think) select multiple winners. For large elections, this is usually pretty unlikely, but still possible. What’s your preferred method of dealing with that possibility? And have you looked into maximal lotteries? http://dss.in.tum.de/files/brandt-research/fishburn_slides.pdf
You’re talking about the possibility of “ties” at various stages in a method’s procedure — that is, cases where a difference is being checked for sign but is equal to zero. As you say, this becomes vanishingly unlikely in large elections. In that case, any tiebreaker will do; if nothing else is clearly better, just draw lots.
