I would either:

(a) put "Virt" as the default, or
(b) remove this question entirely - if someone is installing oVirt, 
assume they want to manage virt. If someone is installing Gluster, have 
an option during the Gluster install to have the oVirt management console.

If someone wants to manage both their Gluster bricks and their virt with 
oVirt, I would make that a post-install option to oVirt - perhaps with 
an extra package to install (which would depend on the later version of 
Gluster).

Cheers,
Dave.
