That would depend on how conditional you need to handle.

You say
"Our system supports both Maildir and mbox being specified in .forward files"
- exactly how?

Do you ever want anything but Maildir format, for Sieve filters? If not:
use a variant of that expansion on the directory= option
instead of file=.

(If yes - how would Exim find out which?)

The file_transport vs. directory_transport in the redirect router
is independent of the file= vs. directory= in the appendfile
transport. You could point both to the same transport
(so long as that transport deals properly with whatever it gets
handed in $address_file, if it uses that)
