Blackhawk
For me it's not a matter of "what do I like", it's what will the gun be used for. Lots of safe time , padded case to the shooting range , controlled shooting conditions,, a blued gun will do well with that.
If a gun is going to the field , worn in a holster, live in a sweaty environment or the elements in general and treated like a tool , you can't beat stainless.
I also seem to take mine apart fairly often to change things , Pawls ,springs , hammers ,triggers. If you nick a blue gun you call it character, if you nick the alloy parts , it's nicked forever.
Cosmetically almost anything you do to a stainless gun can be fixed up in 10 minutes with mothers mag polish or a scuff pad.
