that's what I think it should be.

Well, that seems to work in every other sport in existence. Maybe MLB could try it.

disclaimers:
Yeah, I know the Super Bowl is held at a neutral site.
Yeah, I know that the two leagues aren't exactly equal, and it's easier to win 95 games in the NL West than it is in the AL East. So what? That hasn't stopped the NBA, NHL, or NFL from using the "best record" to determine home-field.

I like the best record in interleague play option, but you can't really complain about best record overall for the reasons you indicated.
