Why not combine both ;) ?

Each and every measure should just be listed, which could be activated with 
e.g. a checkbox.  

Additionally there could be three columns after the checkbox that shows 
whether the measure is part of a (convenience group as listed above (relaxed, 
medium or aggressive)). 
The convenience groups are probably just arrays in php (or maybe a new 
template file?).  By selecting a convenience group all measure that are part 
of that group will be checked.  That way it is also visible clear what the 
result will be of selecting a convenience group.

BTW: will somebody make an issue for this?
