Cool What color should i powder coat my New PSC brawler lite w/Trail stinger?

So I got my new bumper last week, but have been on vacation and have not been able to mess with it. I was kinda torn between powder coating it or getting it line-x'ed but i think i have decided on getting it powder coated.
Only problem is there are to many blacks to chose from, here are my options.

Blacks

Mirror Black (@ 95% Gloss)
Mid Gloss Black (@ 50% Gloss)
Black Wrinkle (@ 50% Gloss)
Satin Black (@ 40% gloss)
Matte Black (Flat Black @ 10% Gloss)
Black Texture (@ 10% gloss)

does any one have pictures of these colors? any input would help.
Here is a picture of the bumper and The GOON.

My vote is black texture. The less gloss the better... unless you like the shiny look. I'm thinking about ordering this bumper as well. Nice choice!

Black texture, line-x is like $500 for a bumper.

I say black, fine texture to match the texture of the plastic on the mirrors, door handles, etc as closely as possible. I don't care much for having some items textured and some items glossy (i.e. footman loop on hood, wiper arms, etc.).

Keep the same basic color scheme across the board. Looks like your doing black in white, so black would probably go best IMO

For a good texture go with the spray on bedliner from Walmart. It goes on the smoothest. The stuff from autozone and such is real goopy

I got quoted $125 to $250 for line-x is that good or worth it?
Powder coating is going to cost me about $125 for textured black.
Thanks for all the input so far.
