Definitely ding. Lot of people do prefer visual feedback.

How about this?

  :type '(choice (const :tag "Pause before wrapping" t)
                 (const :tag "No pause before wrapping for
non-incremental search" nis-no)
                 (const :tag "No pause and no flashing for
non-incremental search" nis-no-ding)
                 (const :tag "Absolutely no pause before wrapping" no)
 ;;This will cover non-incremental searches as well
                 (const :tag "Absolutely no pause and no flashing"
no-ding)  ;;This will cover non-incremental searches as well
                 (const :tag "Disable wrapping" nil))
