I don't think using doubled option will force people to understand
what's happening. Most probable outcome is that two-option requirement
will look just "strange". It's strange because it's vague.
I agree with David, something like "NonAnonymousOnionServiceMode 1"
should be enough. It looks pretty clear and simple.
[NB: a service cannot be Hidden and NonAnonymous at the same time :) ]
