I wonder, which method egg crate or mesh has the most effect on the lighting?

Eggcrate easily. Its thicker and it directs the light only downward through the holes.

You might have more success with the reflective eggcrate, but I'm not sure if it will heat up, or have a reaction to the salt water.
