Help me pick a saddle and bar tape

Thanks to a great deal from jonjones13, I'm the proud owner of my first Speedvagen. This one with a fresh coat of matte army paint no less. It will be my A bike for the upcoming CX season and built with a DA9000 mech. group. I'm debating on which saddle color and bar tape to use though. I've got two Antares hanging on the wall to pick from. One black and pink, and the other all white. I've also got the Fizik pink w/logo and the all white bar tape to match either saddle. So, I thought I'd leave the decision to the interwebs. Post your opinion and I'll tally the votes once I've got the remaining components and start the build.

I know that this isn't the best pic but I really wasn't interested in grabbing the SLR for two quick shots.

I've seen a few matte army builds with black saddles and tape. Just seems plain to me.

Neither the pink or white really works. You bought a very understated frame, try living with it for a while before trying to spice it up.

If you want the saddle and bar tape to match, I think orange would pair well with the fatigue green. Brown leather also works well, but you're going to have a hard time finding a matching saddle.

Or how about some camo bar tape and a black saddle?

Your poll needs a choice for "None of the above."

That pink will be much faster than the white.
