IMO single user mode should be in the first level. I never had to use the other options, but I often used single-user mode. Another reson is that we tell to install the world in single-user mode. While I've always installed the world in multi-user mode, we should make it easy/fast to do it the recommended way. I see a lot of value for submenus to chose another boot device / partition, specially with ZFS boot environments.
