I am still studying the archetypes, as you know, but when the discussion came up at this last homecoming regarding the Choice I intuitively described it as a card heavily involving free will and faith.
The imagery in The Choice / The Fool is as you say, but I think for me the reason I feel free will and faith was a big descriptor was (1) the classical renaming of the card as The Fool by human society, (2) the perspective of those who are not yet awakened of the spiritual path, and (3) also Ra's comments about the only service to provide those who wish to remain asleep is 'comforts design for sleeping.' It takes both a choice and a leap of faith, which others not yet open may see as completely foolish and not logical.
