Viktor gave some excellent advice.  I'd tweak it by removing 'export' as 
something to support.  And perhaps use weak, good, strong -- whatever, keep the 
number of choices very small. I'd suggest to not use "default" since folks will 
get upset if it changes. They are more accepting if the definition of 'strong 
cipher' changes with time. It's curious, but it's the way humans seem to work.

The openssl cipher spec is pretty darn subtle and it is far too easy to get 
wrong.
