Liftkicks don't work against good aikido players.
All you have to do to counter it is grab the opponents leg because their other arm is in the other direction, then once they try to grab you with it let go of their leg and they'll DQ...
Shovel isn't easily countered but it can be broken by an experienced player. All you have to do is land a good hit on their shoulder and it will fracture, leaving your opponent defenseless.
I say the best move is to get low and lift.

Shoveling can be easily countered, but most people don't know how. So when facing beginners and you want to end it quickly then I wouldn't mind using it.
Lift kick however is the best way to win, or at leat I find it the most fun move and it's the most challanging one to counter, even if most people do it wrong.
Edit: Prove me wrong whenever you're available. Would be curious to see the move you use for a counter.
:P

shovel and liftkick are incredibly noobish and easy to counter.
Improvise and don't do symmetric crap.

If we're wanting to go into detail on the joints..
Frame1:
Extend neck, right rotate chest, right lumbar thing, contract left pec, extend right pec, contract left elbow, sticky hand, hold left glute, hold left hip, contract left leg, extend left foot, contract right leg, contract right foot.
Frame2:
left rotate chest, raise left shoulder, contract right pec, contract right elbow, extend right wrist, sticky hands, extend both legs, hold both hips, extend both feet, extend abs.
After this most of the time you just let them go and they go flying out. Unless they're also stickied, which means they ain't a noob.
