Eh, Solid Snake is hotter if you're going for eyepatch guys. 
How often will you check on your pins? That's really the question. We use happ bulk rubber because it's cheap. Don't forget that public means people can and will abuse the heck out of it. If you see your pins often, I think standard rubber is better on all but hard-to-reach places. If you put them out and don't visit them again for 6 months, you're going to need something more durable.
Edit: Colorwise, white is going to look bad sooner, black is going to make your playfield look dirtier sooner.
