something like this http://www.alpha-products.com/cd_catalog/new_catalogs/switches/std/dip/rotary/dip%20rotary%20sw2.htm for selection would be great you both get many positions and feedback to the user.
and it´s easy to interface to a mcu

another way is to use a pot connected to an analog input on the mcu and give binary feedback with
led:s or hexadecimal feedback with a 7 segment display

my personal favorite is the one with the pot and four led:s for binary feedback
(then it´s easy to modify it for function selection via cv ;)

skip the lcd thing it´s only expensive

  As the module is still in the design state I cannot give details. But as
  it's microcontroller based it should be no problem to include different
  counting/dividing types. The main problem is the operation (i.e. how to set
  the dividing type and how to tell the user which type is chosen). An LCD
  with menu buttons would be a bit over the top and increase the price
  unnecessarily. Jumpers inside only and looking to a table would be a bit
  laborious. So we will have to find a compromise between price and
  operability.

  Best wishes
