WPA2 router configuration

My router (Trendnet TEW-452BRP) has choices for cipher type as TKIP (default) or AES. But I read where TKIP is not used in WPA2 except in backwards compatible WPA mode by APs to support legacy WPA/TKIP clients. So if all my clients are WPA2 So I gather I should change this to AES...or Auto

Re PSK(default) vs EAP, what is the appropriate setting?

WPA2 should use AES by default. Many routers now have mixed modes that support mixes of clients using WPA, WPA2, TKIP and AES.

Any of these are fine. The most important thing is to use a strong password.
