Hi Robert. Go with the "Basic Black".....you can't go wrong with that. That goes for a lot of things - clothes, cars, even coffee
The other one......I'm with your lady. I find it disturbing. I absolutely hate the "Death Cult" imagery that pervades modern Western society these days......if you do end up getting the 2nd one you'll find it's like a tattoo, great to start with, but as time passes you'll come to hate it.
After all it's just a box....what's important is what's inside.
