There is only Brexit or not Brexit, and that has already been decided.
If you want to stay in the single market then you are not leaving the EU, you will still be bound by the EU rules, regs, freedoms and ECJ.

You may not like it but hard and soft Brexit have become accepted popular terminology. My understanding is:
Hard Brexit = leave the EU, Customs Union, Single Market.
Soft Brexit = leave the EU but potentially re-join the Customs Union and/or Single Market.
Cambridge University Press's definitions are:
Hard Brexit: a Brexit in which the United Kingdom stops being a member of the European single market and gets full control of its own law-making and immigration
Soft Brexit: a Brexit in which the United Kingdom's relationship with the European Union is a close as possible to what it was before Brexit: In a "soft Brexit", Britain would be out of the EU but would retain strong economic ties, make budgetary contributions, and allow free movement of people.
