Your requirements are not completely clear. Do you need a widget to 
select a single or to select multiple contacts? For the multiple case, I 
guess a checkbox is not such a bad choice. For the single case, I think 
you can do without. IMO, your basic approach of making a model to use in 
a QListView is sound. You can use that same model in QML if you want, 
making the approach quite flexible.

Sharing is always appreciated.
