If I'm not mistaken your approach seems to build on Ayn Rand's objectivism and I see room for much common ground here, being a libertarian myself.

More or less, though there are quite a few points on which I diverge.

I strongly suspect that it comes down to the choice: rejecting or affirming the very idea of morality and tacitly accepting the implications of that choice.

No actually, Aristotle didn't. If he had, then Hume's is-ought argument wouldn't have had any weight.
