I think eps is the best choice for real latex. Something else could be
needed for pdflatex, but this is easy to implement.

I guess you mean "On _some_ TeX implementations, ...". LyX should
certainly not rely on LaTeX being able to handle anything else than
postscript, especially since it is so easy to do the convertion.
