Not an answer, but where are you seeing type as being reserved in Ruby? It's discouraged in Rails as it's used by default for STI, but if you want to go against the grain you can even override that.
Like others I tend to agree that more context is needed to come up with the right word. To me type just means "type of class." If we're talking about something else then other words are useful, but generically.. oof.. tough to say.
