Ok, you've really narrowed it down

The best choice is to get it on the bracelet and purchase the rubber/leather strap aftermarket. The bracelet is much more expensive aftermarket than the straps.

PS. I have mine on the bracelet and love the fit. I may get the rubber strap later for it, but for me leather on a PO is just not right. Its a tool watch and should be on either the bracelt or rubber strap or some sort of nato or kevlar strap.

I have the blk/blk 42mm. The orange number version might be your best choice because it gives you the greatest flexibility with strap & bezel colors. It was not available when I got mine. I might have been tempted to get it so I could swap out the orange and black bezels if I felt like a different look from time to time.
