Now the big thing with the ability point bounty gimmick, is that you would need to make the ability points rewarded after your win streak ends. Because using your bonus ability points to sustain a winning streak that gives you bonus ability points for sustaining it would be degenerate

Same is true for the bonus GP bounty, on that note, but I really think ability points for win streaks is the way to go if you're using ability points.

My thinking is that the winstreak bonus should be flat GP (for example, 3 + 1 per every win above 3) awarded each time you win, while killstreak bonuses should be infra (to encourage punching the heavyweights in the nose). Since flat GP only gives a temporary cash injection, instead of a permanent one, it's easier to balance it, and give a decent encouragement to win. AP bonuses are an interesting concept too, though - debating if that'd be better than allowing players to exhaust mercs like they're cards or not.
