I personally like the blue sharpie, and it is the color favored by most collectors. They tend to hold up better over time than black sharpies. I always bring a couple with me in case they only supply the celebs with the black ones. I hand over the blue sharpie first, then the item I want to get signed.
As for gold and silver, I assume you are talking about the paint pens. As a precaution, stay away from silver sharpies if you can. They don't always work very well, and when they do it seems as if they are only good for one or two signatures. Another bad thing about them is that if the celeb signs with rapid movements they don't work very well. The paint pens are okay, though, and are best for dark surfaces. If you can find an Art Deco paint pen I'd pick one up just for having it. They are much better than the Sharpie brand, but a friend of mine told me that the company either went out of business or stopped making them.
