The “I cut, you choose” sounds optimal from a game theoretic perspective and avoid all the complex algorithms that are proposed in the links of other replies here

Sorry, choose what exactly? (in the context of districts)
I'd argue for a "simpler" method: no district should be non-contiguous and it should be "round" (no weirdly shaped or long districts). Something like: area of the circle that fully encompasses the district cannot be more than 30% of the whole district area. (With some exceptions for coastal areas)
