Thanks for bringing this up. Canoe routes and their connectors is a topic that needs work.
In the present case and to answer your question, I would prefer portage=* This would leave open multiple possibilities for values, yes/no, canoe. kayak, etc., that might more fully describe the portage.The other two are too limited or specialized, IMO. Another issue regarding canoe routes which needs to be addressed at some point in the future is that there is, to my knowledge, no way to tag the waterway portions of a canoe trail or route.
