Would you do Black or Clear silicon on your new tank?

Exactly what I used to think. And it's true. I just realized after trying clear again that I liked not having things framed. For me the black was a bit distracting. Mine also doesn't get that dirty. My Kole is always grazing it madly.

long term, black silicone is best

short term, clear is best...

Black all the way! Clear is tough to keep looking good without constantly scrubbing it, and then you're probably damaging the silicone. Also, I doubt they put UV stabilizers in the clear silicone so the MH lighting will break it down somewhat over time (black is immune as it is not transparent).
