I preferred "configuration parameter" originally and was argued out of it.  My take on "setting" was also that it more naturally refers to the choice of setting, not the thing being set, such that "work_mem = 8192" means the configuration parameter "work_mem" has the setting "8192".

"The current setting of the work_mem parameter is 8192."

I think something based on "parameter" is good.  We also use that 
language in the protocol (e.g., ParameterStatus).
