I'm big on contrast. Rather than those two choices, talk to your powder coater and see what other shades of black they have. With my Sportster, the tins were gloss black (with flames) and the cam/gear/primary covers were a wrinkle black look. To contrast some with those, I went with a semi-gloss black for the wheels. Having the different finishes of black still gave the bike a "blacked out" look but still offered a considerable amount of contrast.
In this picture you can see what I mean. Look at the high gloss look of the black fender, the mid-gloss look of the rear wheel (especially just below the rear exhaust), and the rough flat look of the cam cover.

The tins need to be painted, the kook that i bought the bike from used a CHEAP pillion and the staples destroyed the paint, he ran without the front fender and he didnt wrap it up before he stored it. Couple decent scratches on the front of the tank too...
