No, I believe RAI are pretty clear.
There is no mention that the Druid must choose anything. Whatever undergrowth (that hasn't been magically manipulated to impede motion) the druid moves through doesn't cause any damage to the druid, doesn't slow him down and the druid leaves no trail. I have read in Sage Advice that basically, the grass Druids steps on just spring back up, branches he bends while passing return exactly how they were before they were bent. If crawling is going to become a problem then Toot will squat but I don't see any restriction on crawling because that's how some animals move. To say, you can woodland stride but not when you're a snake does not seem to be RAW or RAI.
Quote:Woodland Stride: A druid may move through any sort of undergrowth (such as natural thorns, briars, overgrown areas, and similar terrain) at her normal speed and without taking damage or suffering any other impairment. However, thorns, briars, and overgrown areas that have been magically manipulated to impede motion still affect her.
Quote:Trackless Step: A druid leaves no trail in natural surroundings and cannot be tracked. She may choose to leave a trail if so desired.
