This would mean our user interface is confusingly different across

Not really.

Should mean "create a guest with one drive using whatever disk makes the most
sense for the given machine."
We need to separate out our UI into two separate categories: one where the user
only cares about functionality (give me a guest with a disk) verses a user that
cares about the created hardware (give me a SCSI device).

and also if we have a board that currently
only supports SD card but later we add support for (say) a SATA
interface then we have the choice of breaking the "default is
fastest interface" rule or breaking everybody's old command lines,
neither of which sound very good.
