First off, I'm with you in that I don't like guns with 100% (or 75%) engraving. I do agree that 25% may not be enough if distributed evenly over the whole gun. 33-50% may be okay if tastefully done. Alas, my personal opinion is that I would weight the engraving more toward rear of the gun with just a tasteful touch on the barrel.
I would use polished bone for the grips, personally. The mother of pearl grips have always turned me off, but good polished bone or ivory (I'm a bit of a conservationist so I would prefer the bone) tastefully done would look good and last quite a while. If you went with wood, it wouldn't be oak. I would want a good grained cherry or knurled English Walnut personally. Also, I think contrast helps a BBQ gun quite a bit. For example, a blued or case hardened finish with polished trigger and hammer. I'm not into gold plated accessories, though.
+1 on the the matching holster. Plus, one other accessory would really set it off. The hat band was a good idea.
