At tea yesterday it was suggested to name LEM_n the version of LEM restricted to n-types, and AC_n the version of AC that involves the n-truncation. Then LEM_infty and AC_infty would be the PAT versions (so AC_infty is provable and LEM_infty is inconsistent with univalence) and LEM_{-1} and AC_{-1} would be the mere-propositional versions (which hold in the sSet model and thus may consistently be assumed).
One technical problem I see with this is that LEM_infty and AC_infty might also be interpreted to refer to the infty-truncation (hypercompletion) rather than no truncation at all.
wouldn't these be LEM_\omega, etc.?
However, that seems unlikely to be a serious problem, since the untruncated meanings of LEM_infty and AC_infty aren't intended for wide use.A more serious problem is that there are also another parameters in AC. The version of AC in section 2.8.5 assumes that X is a set, each A(x) is a set, and each P(x,a) is a mere proposition; thus this statement lives entirely in the world of sets. If we remove the requirement that X be a set, the statement becomes inconsistent, since we could take A to be the universal cover of the circle. However, I believe the statement is true in the simplicial model when X is a set and each P(x,a) is a mere proposition, with no truncation hypotheses on A (and also still with propositional truncation in the statement), and at least a priori this seems to be a stronger statement. So there is at least another whole axis of truncation indices that we could vary along. There might even be a third one: I don't know what happens if we remove the truncation hypothesis on P.
interesting.
I guess these newly visible "generalied choice principles" will just have to be specified more carefully individually, when they are studied or used?

That's one possible choice, but one might also argue for the reverse.
Infinity is already used in higher topos theory when referring to
hypercomplete objects.

Yeah. I think now that because AC-infinity is an equivalence, the relevant
parameter is not the truncation of A or P, but of Sigma(a:A),P. So there
are actually three parameters.
