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.
