No you'd have a single database column called style (or whatever you
like. In it you store a reference to the style chosen. It can be a
reference such as has been suggested (which is possible the most
flexible option or it can simply be the name of the style sheet.
I wouldn't use checkboxes. Checkboxes are for multiple choices. You
only want the respondent to return one choice. I'd suggest either a
select drop down box or radio buttons.

It doesn't. When you have successfully stored the stylesheet choice in
the database presumably you will have some form of log in system. When
the user logs in, fetch the value from the data base.
If you don't have a log in system you can't do this. Your only other
option is to set a cookie on the users machine. The downside of this is
that the user may have cookies disabled. In which case, tough, they'd
have to set their preferred styles each session.
Whichever method you choose, I'd store the choice in a session variable
for the duration of the visit.
