Your system here would require you to set a manual ban length for every ban you make, and if you're a server that has a solid rule structure, you'd have to continuously look up how long people should be serving time and fill it in yourself.
Additionally, I think you need to have somewhere where you can define the ban time for the client receiving the ban; an "other" option is needed where you can write the reason in yourself. The predefined reasons limit your options and can often confuse people who are banned, as mentioned in the opening post, and a new list of options doesn't really tackle that issue unless it covers practically everything.
