BUt today, when we do not have the prophets nor the audible voice of God, why would a civil society choose stoning over hanging?

Do you mean to say that the only times stoning was carried out in the history of national Israel was when a prophet or the auduble voice of God commanded it? I tend to doubt that. And since they had at their disposal what are in your view more humane methods of execution, there must be a reason God determined that it would be the bloody and entail audience participation. Why do think that was?

So, does society have an obligation now to kill the convcited in the most humane way that they can think of?

I think the law of God shows us the answer is no. He could have prescribed hanging, but did not.
