Is there a way to make this check which type of URL is selected in the admin options of PP, and then produce only that format of canonical URL?

That would be possible, but for your problem I'd say it would be the wrong path. In your place, I'd decide which URL I want to use, and then implement a 301-redirect via htaccess to redirect the other. This way, you get the "wrong" URLs out of the search engines.
