Definatly don't go with the semi-gloss because you'll get nothing in the way of a shine off it. Semi-gloss is what you use for the underside of cars. But out of the other two colours, I'm not entirely sure.

Metallic black won't offer the same depth as gloss black. The flakes cause light to reflect off in every direction, which is why a lot of times when you see someone on the forums post a pic of a car with metallic paint, it almost looks "dirty".
