I think all of these are ok, none of them should cause any confusion. I personally tend to use "cipher suite" just because TLS does so and doing so therefore reduced the chances that anybody complains about the terminology. But high level the TLS terminology is not optimal, a TLS 1.2 cipher suite can consist of authentication alg, key exchange alg, encryption alg, and a integrity/KDF alg. Only one of the algorithms is a cipher.

Some terms are used much more often than others.
