Speedy 30 in Mono or Damier?

Mono - it is classic. Vachetta isn't as delicate as it seems - I have had mine for a year and have gotten caught in the rain. It is fine - no water spots.

I do like the damier ebene as well but I started off with the mono.
 
Damier! I bought my first lv over the summer -- damier speedy 30 -- and still am obsessed with it! I was thinking mono for my first bag but the SA explained the damier is just as classic, the first lv luggage was actually in damier print.
