Not really. Why not the same name for gnome as for the other spins.
And why not give the user finally information and screenshots of what
they get, for every spin? Why still treat the user as if he's dumb and
need "you" to decide what he want. Give him enough information and he
will decide.
Coded with some ajax and the page will look not bloated.

Yes, thats part of doing it the right way.

There will not be too many options. The user who dont know what he
needs and dont want to find out if he really wants x86_64 (for
example) can have a message that he can use always i686. I guess a ppc
user will know what he wants/needs.
