There is no one best choice for everyone, and your dislike for the DAK is just as valid as my appreciation of it.
To me, it provides a very "revolver-like" trigger pull that I shoot well. I "grew up" on revolvers and 1911s and find that the DAK trigger, like a few other DAO triggers, is very easy to shoot well. The only time the double reset (which is a bit weird as you say) comes into play is between shots and since I do not try to “find” or “ride” the reset, and the two resets are so close together, that it just doesn’t matter. From time to time I notice it, but rarely.
I don’t really like the term “slapping” the trigger, because it connotes a jerking or yanking motion, but for lack of a better term, for each shot I “slap” the trigger and then fully release the trigger before my sights are back on target. I don’t care about reset points. If I had started out on things like Glocks, or perhaps even DA/SA guns I might feel differently.
I would note that I am talking about defensive or LEO use, not guns for competition or play. I do not like the idea of releasing only to reset for defensive/LEO purposes…the risk of short stroking the gun is there and, in a life or death situation, I don’t think playing with reset points is the thing to do, except perhaps for those with exceptional skills under stress.
The DAK was designed to provide second shot capability (according to its designer and the patent application) and it also seems to offer some protection against short stroking. I don’t really care about those things due to the way I shoot. If the DAK had only the one reset, I suppose I might prefer it, but only a little. It just doesn't matter to how I shoot the gun.
If one really cares about reset points and has the ability to let the trigger out only as far as the reset point, then I guess a shooter could just use that first reset. It is still a very good DA trigger pull.
Granted, the 92D and Px4 have equal or perhaps slightly better triggers, but are not guns I can carry at the moment.

From Todd Green (I am sure many of you have read this before):
“Then there is the reset. The DAK does not use a rebounding hammer like a standard (DA/SA) SIG. Therefore, it relies on the slide cycling to place the gun in what SIG calls the ‘safety notch’ or firing position. In order to provide restrike capability — which SIG considers a worthwhile feature for a combat gun — the DAK needed a way to cock the trigger when it was not in the safety notch position. The result is that, instead of being a simple “true” DAO with a full length reset, there is also an intermediate reset on a DAK. This intermediate reset, which does not benefit from the full leverage of the modified DAK mechanism, is about 2# heavier than the ordinary trigger pull. So you can either release the trigger all the way out (like a DA revolver) and get that same ~7.5# trigger pull, or you can reset it half way and get ~9.5# trigger pull on follow up shots."
"In my experience, releasing the trigger all the way forward makes for much better results. Because the trigger on the DAK & LEM will move all the way forward between shots if you let it, you never run the risk of losing contact with the trigger between shots. This means much less chance of slapping the trigger when shooting at maximum speed. So for example, while my splits were a little slower with the DAK than with a DA/SA SIG (especially using the Short Reset Trigger version), I was much less likely to throw a shot with the DAK…the DAK is like shooting a DA revolver (not counting the intermediate reset)"
