i vote medium in black, i've seen white flaps that were well taken care of and they get dirty a lot faster - especially in the chain straps

if you're really tall or take around a lot of stuff then maybe the jumbo, but i've always really liked the medium size!

Since you mentioned you like bigger bags, jumbo is the way to go although i really hate the weight on double flap. It is so heavy on the shoulders even before you load it.

I personally prefer white with GHW. For me personally, I will not use the white as much as other darker colors because I worry too much about color transfer and this will mainly be more of a "evening" bag for me so GHW is more suitable. It is more stunning at night with the gold hardware. Besides, gold hardware is iconic and it brings more contrast to the white color.

But if you plan to use it everyday and will be your main bag, then I think SHW is better because silver gives the bag a more blend in casual look.

My first Chanel is a black jumbo flap that I purchased about 2 years ago and I regret it a bit - it is too heavy for daily use and a wee too big for my tiny frame (5'1" here), making it less elegant looking when I'm dressed up. The pro is that it fits my iPad with no problem :) If I could do it all over again, I probably would have bought a smaller size.
