Kryptek Yeti hydro-dip...what color barrel? Muzzle device or no?

I made up my mind and want to dip the upper, lower, scope mount, and free float tube in Kryptek Yeti on my .223 winter coyote hunting AR. The small parts like grip, pmag, lower parts, and scope will remain black. Should I save $30-50 and leave the fluted barrel stainless (too shiny?), bead blast it, or Cerakote it gray to go with the gray on the Yeti pattern (or black to match the small parts? or more white?). Thanks for any suggestions! Here's a couple pics for reference black , gray , bead blast or stainless? . Hopefully they work.

Also, it will be used during the day so I'm debating leaving a thread protector on it (cheaper), linear comp (to help when I'm hunting with a friend, some muzzle rise/recoil reduction), or muzzle brake (virtually no recoil so quicker follow up shots and see the hits). What would you do?

I see no one has had much input. I guess for my personal preferences. I like the bead blasted look, but if you don't want to spend the money to do I don't think a shiny barrel is going to ruin many coyotes either as long as you aren't waving the barrel around.

As to what to put on the barrel. For a hunting gun under no circumstance would I personally put a muzzle brake on a gun that I may shot without hearing protection at some point and a coyote gun would qualify for that. Most of my hunting ARs have comps/flash suppressors on them, for if nothing else to protect the crown of the gun.
 
I like the look of blasted stainless

I left the tip shiny, for no real reason
