I don't see anything wrong with "curl family". Individually they may be http, https, etc. remote helper, but if you need a name to collectively call them, you would want to say "curl family of helpers"; "curl helpers" simply doesn't make sense.

If you want to just say "we ship multiple", we could also say "a family of helpers" as well. "curl"-ness is an implementation detail.
