It seems like the full range of triples should be rewarded in program components. This is something that applies to the program as a whole, not to any individual element. It should count toward a balanced program, choreography, skating skills -- stuff like that. The judges could just say, a program with a full variety of jumps is better than a program that lacks this desirable and pleasing feature.
For me, doing different triples does not improve the enjoyment of the program so I wouldn't add any points for choreography or interpretation. I think maybe a point for every different triple successfully (+GOE, no "e") executed, so you wouldn't penalize someone like Mao who doesn't do a clean lutz but does do an axel.
