I think the question is best answered by yourself. Either one is good, also I dont see how you mentioning your wheels has anything to do with this.

because the carbon fiber might match the wheels somewhat.

Do what I did, pay an extra 100 and get the cf version, if you don't like you can always paint it. Plus you can run it while it's cf unlike a fiberglass one...

You can, but most recommend a clear coat on it for longevity. I dropped mine off to get a layer of clear on it!!!

If you have no other plans for carbon fiber i would paint it to match your car. That being said you can always paint the carbon fiber and take it off later and reclear it. I would recommend a cf hood to equal out the front and rear if you do keep it cf.
