Hi GillAH12
I have observed the same as you have where I no longer see the option to sync with Yahoo contacts when I access itunes via my PC. I currently have an iPhon4s with latest iOS 6.0.1. 
I know for a fact prior to what I see now, I never saw a choice of  "Google contacts" to sync but the other choices of "Outlook" and Windows Address Book" may have always been in the drop down list.  The only thing I could thing of as to why the choice of Google contacts appears there is because I logged onto Google with a shared account (created by someone else) that I use with my other colleagues for a Tech volunteer org I belong too that may have a small list of contacts from our group.
As you mentioned in your initial post on 11/27/12 (at 4:53 pm), I too only have Yahoo as my main email contact where I maintain my contacts on my PC and other than iCloud (turned off for contacts and mail) in my iPhone setting, I only have Yahoo listed as my other account (and ALL settings are turned ON for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders and Notes)
Chris,
You mention to GillAH12 (in your reply on Nov 27, 2012 5:11 PM) that
" Computer contacts sync to Yahoo. Phone contacts sync to Yahoo. You don't sync yahoo contacts on phone to computer or vice-versa. "
But the last time I had syncing issues between my iPhone contacts to my Yahoo contacts (that I troubleshooted with a Genius tech at an Apple Store) unless he was wrong, he said once you add your Yahoo account in your iPhone settings, and turn on your Contacts, he said your iPhone should now display your yahoo contacts (which they did) and I'm almost sure (but not 100%) that he said all subsequent updates/additions to my contacts on your iPhone should be synced and reflected in my Yahoo contact list on my PC and vice-versa from my Yahoo contacts on my PC to my iPhone. Not lately, but I have seen my Yahoo contacts get updated after I added a new or updated an existing contact on my iPhone
You are saying that's not the case and if not, whom (i.e with Apple support or some other Apple user) did you confirm that info with?
Before I even visited the Apple Store, since I bought my iPhone at Verizon, i intially spent several hours with a Verizon tech to try and resolve (but they were unsuccessful) my Yahoo contact sync issues, before they suggested I go to an Apple Store. As myself and GillAH12 (and I'm sure others have observed), it's very frustrating to get mixed answers from different Apple techs and it's sad us Apple users have to rely on our testing and troubleshooting skills to help each other.
Thanks
