"Traditional" would be the pre-expansion method of lineup construction, with the 2 hole going to a bat-control guy and whatnot.
"Modern" would be the 2010s method of lineup construction, not quite full sabermetric but avoiding the flaws inherent in traditional lineups.
"Sabermetric" would be the complete "bat the best hitters 1/2/4, pitcher eighth" strategy Joe Maddon and similar managers have been using.

I like that. 2 options simply aren't enough for this. But I'm afraid I don't fully understand what you mean by modern as opposed to the other two. Can you give some examples of what it might do differently than the other two?
When I first saw your three options I thought you were going to suggest replacing traditional with small ball and add long ball. realstar, rightfully now that I think about it, was talking about how there are some differences between AL/DH/longball and NL/no-DH/small ball style lineup choices and I think it might be worth creating some AI for those options, but your three would probably be worth keeping too (I'm not sure what difference there'd be between traditional and small ball though). With 5 choices to choose from hopefully most users would be able to find at least one they liked.
