The way I think would be a good way for this to start is for the players to actually play out the acquisition of their patron. Like, I think it could be some gathering of genies and prospective contractors they've gathered. The idea is that all the genies are either competing for some reason or are united for a particular purpose but need agents to act in their stead. Each of the genies basically sells what their offering for what they expect in return, and the PCs pick right then and there which patron they vibe with best, which determines what kind of warlock they are. They could all be different ones or all even be the same type. Depends on how large the party is and if they have multiple options. Like maybe more that one of the prospective patrons is a djinni, for example, and a PC might like one djinni and not the other.
