The only real answer is which do YOU prefer?

You can find many photos online of CT wrapped in Matte, Satin, and glossy black, along with hundreds of other color wraps. It all comes down to personal choice.
What will make you smile when you look at it over and over every day? The great things is that if you do it and don't like it, you can always change it. Of course, if done professionally, it can be expensive, but If you're willing to DIY it, it can be much more affordable to do.
I am doing a DIY Black Metallic Eclipse made by Avery and purchased through Tesbros.

Satin black flexishield on FS CB for reference.

Tints:
35% WS - (xpel XR+) - looks good, but currently having visual distortion/reflection problems and glare with light though…can see 6 headlights on coming cars LOL. working on a fix for this, either a dirty WS (off-gassing), warped glass or bad tint…
15% sides (3M ceramic)
45% rear & moon/sunroof (3M ceramic)

My best advice having gone through the wrap & tint process is to make sure you find a good installed and clearly convey your expectations. Or, DIY ? GL!

Are you DYI-ing or having a shop do it? One consideration, especially for DIYers is that gloss black is order of magnitude harder to install because even the tiniest of imperfections sticks out like a sore thumb. That is of course if you use color infused PPF like ours that creates a true mirror like effect, not the cheap laminated PPF that some vendors sell for under $1000. With satin black, minor imperfections (like a dirt particle here and there) are a lot more forgiving.
Another vote for satin is - no fingerprints.

We have over 300 colors by the way, check it out. And we use premium PPF and have a unique pre-cut template (developed by me using my own CT) that gives you bulk wrap quality with a pre-cut kit with ZERO disassembly (no need to remove fender flares, mirrors etc) + it wraps in places where even shops don't wrap (like the back inner side of the quarter panels which on most CTs not wrapped with our template shows the shiny steel but our wrap covers that too):

Another vote for satin black. Much more forgiving on smudges, dirt & fingerprints—not to mention the imperfections inherent in the panels themselves.?

Just did mine in satin black here in San Antonio. Only $1500, non PPF though. Can't imagine spending $3-4k like some folks have

Awesome ?. Thanks again! I just got my CT in June and I was debating whether or not I should wrap it but after seeing how much better they look I think I'm going to go ahead and get it done. It's just a question of which color and which material ?

Your truck looks great. I get it. I do a lot of highway driving. I ultimately went to PPF because it more resistant to stone chips.

I could wrap 3 times in vinyl for what I paid for PPF
