I don't travel this area often, but from us SW folks who have to deal with the "new" interchange at 37th St & Glenmore, traffic circles are too slow to deal with large volumes of people coming off a thoroughfare. Luckily in this case the interchange is temporary until the ring road connects nearby.

Those traffic circles along university drive are perfect. It's an odd area to get in and out of, and the traffic there is fairly minimal relative to Crowchild.
This is should be done ASAP IMO. It would instantly turn that area from heavy gridlock to a pretty easy drive in and out of downtown and along Crowchild during rush hour.
One thing I'd like to see is a left-hand exit ramp that went under the bridge and connected to Memorial, as the weaving there is a large part of the issue. But having an extra lane would probably do wonders for it as is.
