You should only select one of the above.

ip_wccp is simpler as it does not require any tunnel configuration, but
also much less secure for the exact same reasons.. but on the other hand
not all versions of ip_gre supports WCCP.

In fact only one of the two can be active at the same time. I do not
remember it it's the first or last loaded however.. (loading more than one
GRE module is not officially supported)
