The opentype typeface Libertine has a beautifully drawn capital eszett: link. The form is based on Andreas Stötzner's proposal (Signa Nr.9).
But I still prefer the "double S" solution when designing small caps, because so far I haven't seen any forms that are not so obtrusive among caps. I would also adjust the kern between the double S to distinguish them from true "SS".
