Spy goggles - rose or persimmon for overcast/variable conditions?

I just picked up a pair of Spy Omega goggles. They came with a bronze/gold mirror lens, which is sort of a yellowy-brown tint that Spy says is good for sunny, clear days. I will definitely be picking up a yellow lens for low vis and flat light.

Where I'm not sure is on the middle-of-the-road lens, suitable for partial clouds, overcast, light snow and afternoon flat light. Spy offers persimmon and rose tints. I'm looking for something with a good amount of contrast yet dark enough to work in somewhat sunny conditions. Orange would be my preference but they don't make it.

So do I go persimmon or rose? Mirrored or not?

My personal favorite is rose colored BUT - I'm colorblind so YMMV. The point is, everyone sees things differently, so take all comments with a grain of salt, and go try them for yourself.
