Sakura Gelly Roll Pens

I was gifted a blank book with black paper and I want to get some Sakura gelly roll pens to write in it with.

The problem? I don't know much about those pens. There seem to be a lot of different types. What would be the best ones for black paper?

Metallic? Moonlight? Just the regular ones?

Fellow pen folks, help me!

I have a black notebook, and I am using the Sakura Gelly Roll Silver Shadow pens and the Pentel Hybrid Dual Metallic pens. Both show really well on the black paper, but beware that the effect of the Silver Shadow pens is a lot more subtle than I thought it would be. The writing is mostly silver with a faint hint of the color the pen is supposed to be.

If you want white, the Uni Ball Signo white pens are considered the most opaque; I find them to write more opaquely than the Sakura Gelly Roll white pens.

OMG, I know. I am always so tempted.
