I'd say a+b, with a) selectable by classical LC_* or LANG variables and
b) selectable by some interface probably.

that's what is done for texlive: LINGUAS pulls related packages that
install localized docs when applicable but also give you support for
hyphenations & co; however, no default is changed and you still have to
ask for babel to get proper hyphenations when compiling your .tex.
