I don't like the mud flap and overall flat top agricultural look of bluemels. Maybe the flap can be changed.
I agree with this. The tyre is curved, why not the mudguard? Cost of fab, I guess.
I have not tried the high-zoot guards @RonnieOatmilk mentions but have had many years' good service from regular SKS plastic sets, so am surprised he finds they wobble and crack.
Perhaps I will forego guards, or use an MTB-style short guard on this bike, which is likelier to be ridden solo than in a group.

To each their own but I like aluminum with double stays. Rock solid and can adjust the curvature a little by changing the length of the stays.
The edge AL look nice-ish in photos. Single stays though.

I think the profile and finish of PDW is superior. This coming from someone who's got the wide PDWs with DIY leather flaps.
