I'd say the PPW will be the easiest. I've got DB and mine is never garage kept... I get a lot of compliments, but it is a chore to keep it looking good. PPW will hide so many imperfections...makes me envious!

My choices: Daytona Blue or Pikes Peak WHITE???
What would yall suggest if i will not be keeping it garaged and will be using it as a daily? I know if i get blue i will worry about scratches and if i get white it will get dirty, so i cant decide....

What about rock chips? I love the blue but the only thing holding me back is the swirl marks, the scratches and the rock chips. Those will show more on a DB then white.
My first choice is Blue but i dont wnt to have white chip marks on my bumper.
I know alot of heads will turn in BLUE thats why I LOVE IT...but i dont know if i will be able to have time to wash it every 2 weeks, maybe once a month....

regard to chip mark, you will have it on ALL. It just the way you drive. Change your driving habbit to avoid rock chip. Sometime i don't wash my car for 2 weeks or a month, it still look ok.
Bottom line, doesn't matter what color you pick, please give your car a good caring. Wash them.

Pike's Peak White. Is easier of the two to keep clean. It can look very sharp with a couple of mods:
Here's one of my buddy's. I really like the PPW. Mine is the SS half way up the page:

Go for that new deep purple color...that isht is sweet.
Super Black is a tough one to keep clean though. My Spec V was that color, and I washed it every week and dusted it twice a week. Swirl marks are really obvious too with it.
