Probablly he believes that he's really tight on space and wants to trim
the binary size?  There are a number of projects to run linux
routers/firewalls that boot off of a single floppy, or a very small flash
disk, etc, unpack into ram and run a really minimal system out of a
ramdisk.

If you control all of the clients, you're free to pick whatever you want.  
Personally, I'd go with just protocol 1 support, and just blowfish for the
symmetric cipher.  If you have to allow/support weird clients though,
you'll have to have a look and see what they support.
