They are mutually exclusive by definition. By "requiring choices" is a tradeoff decision. That requires choosing to have one thing over another.

There is no tradeoff with always-on bonuses; there is only the order in which you acquire them. Choosing the order is not a tradeoff. Increasing the time to train only makes a larger gap for new players to acquire the same power.
