I’m looking for a bag that will be a good everyday black bag that is not so dressy I won’t bring it places. I’m tossed between these two that my SA is suggesting.
Any thoughts are welcome. I don’t need a ton of room but I prefer a zip pocket if possible.

I'd say the Twist, it's slightly more casual and a better option for everyday, it also has a secure closure, which is an absolute must, imho. The only thing I do not like in the Twist is the very obvious logo, but if that's not an issue for you, I'd say go for it

I suggest the Capucines. Not only is it more beautiful, the Twist in this case seems to have a handle that doesn't match the rest of the bag. Not sure why they chose gathered leather on the handle, but it looks out of place to me. Something not harmonious about the design.
 
My vote would be for Capucines. I have the exact same combination (BB Noir GHW) and I use it as an everyday bag. I am a very casual dresser (love me some jeans) so I usually carry it crossbody. It’s obviously a matter of a personal preference and comfort level, but I find this bag is like a chameleon that looks right in any circumstances (dressed up or down). On a day when I feel extra casual , I just place the flap on the outside to conceal LV logo and it instantly gives the bag a different vibe.

I vote for the Capucines:
- more iconic design, it just looks LV, while when I see a Twist from afar, my first guess is always Chanel, until I can clearly see the lock
- more ‘everyday’ design: the handle is meant to make the Twist more casual, but it simply looks a little weird in my opinion
- nicer, longer-lasting handle (I’m not sure how that wrinkly thing will wear with time)
- classic buckle strap instead of this new press-stud design, it just looks nicer
- the giant LV logo can be easily concealed
