I disagree that it is a better idea.  It makes a tad harder to
customize the variable in Lisp if the user is not familiar enough with
Emacs Lisp.  The Custom interface is also more cumbersome.

So my clear preference is for the previous variant, with separate
symbols.  If 'both' is too vague, we could use 'mode-and-header'
instead.
