Well, mobile phones are a huge market for this stuff right now. I've found that regular DHE adds latency perceivable by the end user in my mobile apps, because they have to wait for the (fast but heavily-loaded) server to calculate the modular exponentiation, and then they have to wait for their slow phone's processor to calculate the modular exponentiation. When I said AES-CBC-SHA, I meant AES-CBC-HMAC-SHA. The TLS ciphersuites are named without explicitly saying "HMAC"; e.g. TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA is RSA key exchange with AES-128 in CBC mode as the bulk cipher, authenticated with HMAC-SHA1. The practical problem that people will have with your advice is that they will want to implement it using TLS (despite your recommendation not to use SSL), and TLS doesn't have any standard AES-CTR-[HMAC-]SHA256 cipher suites; there's only standards for AES-CBC-[HMAC-]SHA, AES-GCM, and AES-CCM.
