Avoiding the implication that the server is your personal property is
usually worth the effort; references to personal preferences are less
of a problem, but given the opportunity I try to avoid them too.  It
is possible that the reader would *like* to configure it one way but
site policy says something different.  Of course, even then you would
still probably prefer to configure it the way that lets you keep your
job...

So if I select "None", debconf won't configure the web server
automatically, it'll do it manually?  That's just enough of a
potential misunderstanding to make me stick with "if you would like".

That's the best I've seen so far.
