I like both black/black and black/camo. White hoods are a negative under any circumstance IMO.
need to work on your tape wrapping skills first....
Since you can't keep your white hoods clean (who can?!), this rules out the proper answer which would be white hoods and blue tape (not one of your listed choices).
Of your choices, the camo with black, until that gets too dirty. Then use up your black.
That will give you enough time to source blue tape.

#1 gets my vote. Keeping white hoods white is a losing battle.

Ummm... none of the above. Rule #1: Match bar tape to saddle color.
@bikeanon I cannot stand blue it is my least favourite colour, when I originally bought the frame from dodgy pictures it looks black white and grey, I was devastated when it arrived with blue on it.
The white hoods came that colour! I've bought a couple of used group sets and am using the best bits from both to build the bike up so I'm not guilty for getting them in that state ( although I would be had I ridden it for more than an hour! )
