Well, if you went with the first, you could say something like:

(cond ((symbolp gnus-picons-display-where)
       (symbol-value gnus-picons-display-where))
      ((strinp gnus-picons-display-where)
       gnus-picons-display-where))

Or something like that.  If you go with the latter, you have one more
indirection: 

(setq sym (cdr (assq gnus-picons-display-where gnus-window-to-buffer)))

And then you'd have to to the `cond' up there on `sym'.

I think having `summary', `article', `picons' as possible values
sounds nice...
