I'll bite this one-
  I prefer a speckled champagne or a good ol' Golden Badger.  Why?  Well, the speckles imitate the mottled effect on several mayfly wings, especially the march browns around here (stenonema vicarium).  As for the golden badger, I like the pale tan wings, first for the naturals, second because i just like the look, and the black makes a larger-appearing thorax when wrapped. 
again, just my 2 cents,
Pete
