I had the polished stainless but didn't like how from certain angles the light would shine differently on the pieces. Your E to the right is the perfect example the center section of the E throwing a different shade.

Went to all black thick plastic ones after that

My opinion, get the stainless steel ones. If you want them a different color, light sand them, throw a good 3 coats of your color on it, and then some clear coat. Mine came with red vinyl and I replaced them with stainless in the front and back.
Vinyl will take in UV and fade over time, and possibly crack. I do vinyl work on the side and even I would rather the stainless inserts.
