The black anodising will disappear like tears in rain.
The hard grey ano is more durable, but will wear (depending on usage) and a bit of grit trapped in a brake pad will leave an unsightly scratch (don't ask me how I know).
Silver works with everything and, I imagine, will dull soon enough.
The benefits of wider rims are well documented, particularly if you are on the heavy side.
There's a reason why Archetype have become the "go-to" road rim.
