People hate subtraction. Going to negative numbers actually requires some work. A result of 8 - 20 = -12. Making it simpler by just making it a +20 initiative. You don't have to borrow or carry. Nobody has to worry about whether there's a plus or a minus in front of the result.
To make it more effective, having Advantage against anyone who hasn't had a turn yet if you have Surprise seems elegant.
Surprise: +20 initiative and you have Advantage against anyone who has not taken a turn yet.
