^I don't wear polarized, someone can answer that. There are pros/cons to both. The matte does not magically stop fingerprints, they are much harder to see, for sure, but they are there, look in the right light...I always have a microfiber cloth in my car for wiping stuff, dash/screen windows whatever so no big deal, I just wipe it every few days, the oil from your fingers will get on anything. A screen protector doesn't repel oil from your fingers.
The Matte does cause issues with clarity slightly and brightness just a touch. Although I've gotten used to it since I wear glasses for distant vision, my near sight suffers, so anything up close with my prescription glasses on doesn't look super sharp anymore. Need to check out lasik surgery. Tired of it.. And there is absolutely no reflection from the Matte. Obviously the glossy protector will look like the stock display, glossy/reflective.
So, you sacrifice a bit of clarity/sharpness and brightness from the matte protector, but you gain a flat/non reflective surface which fingerprints are nearly impossible to see.
Really up to you...some people love gloss screens, computers etc..compared to Matte, really a personal preference.
As far as brand, I used Spigen, other used various one. I'm sure you can get one off Amazon for 1/3 the price of the big brands and they work exactly the same. The nice part of the Spigen is the mounting/plastic frame they give you to install it, real easy. But, surely any other brand can use this same template if it doesn't come with one already.
So, if I ever change mine, I'm going to just buy a cheap one with good specs, like for my phone glass, and use the template Spigen provided to install if the one I buy doesn't have their own. Most protectors come with these mounting templates though, a plus.
Good luck.
