Vote for your favorite clearcoat finish!

I have been looking back over some of my figures and pics of figures other guys have done and I am kinda torn when it comes to the whole clearcoat finish issue.

I know some type of clearcoat is preferred/needed when decals are used. So I am looking at what "type" of finish guys prefer and why? (replies encouraged )

I know I probably would have stuck with a "matte" finish as my final coat because I think it looks more lifelike, but I had a bad experience with Krylon Matte (see pic) and that persuaded me to go to Krylon gloss.
