I think that picking a single default that works for the majority, while retaining the possibility of opting out is the way to go. Having a command line switch that toggles different implementations may be nice, but it also incurs a much bigger maintenance work, as the sheer number of combinations between different components becomes vast.
Unless this is something someone wants to maintain, I suggest removing the non-default bindings from the Rails repo and putting it in a plugin.
