I prefer color cased, then blued, then stainless for looks.

Now if I was in salty, coastal or rainy climes I'd go with stainless every time.

Stainless all look the same but one stands out; the premier grade Freedom Arms has a bright warm satin sheen noticeable on the barrel that took some special work.

And then there is nickel which is pretty but flakes after many decades. I have a couple of Colt SAA in nickel that have mammoth ivory and they look better than if they were blued/cc. I also have 2 Colts that are electroless nickel, a Python and a Diamondback and I love them because they are both gorgeous and novel.
