SemVer seems logical. If most of your changes are breaking, I don't think it really matters if you are releasing often or occasionally though.. If it's often, the users will get fatigued with upgrades. If it's occasionally, they'll be overwhelmed and push it off.
If most of your changes are breaking, you should just disclose that the software is in an alpha/beta state and that it can't be depended on to remain consistent until you have a defined policy about what gets released and when. It will be up to the users to decide if they are comfortable with those terms.
