How about a consistent user experience.  For a new user, multiple
similar choices can be confusing.  Should I use ftp, or lftp, or ncftp,
or wget...
With the gftp package, documentation can say "use gftp" to transfer
files.  This works from both the GUI and command line.  Perhaps the gftp
program could just point to lftp or whatever when it cannot detect an X
display, and make the chosen TUI client a dependency of the gftp
package.
