I've had 2 Jet Blacks and now a Sapphire. Love the Sapphire. Dust doesn't show as much. But the best thing I like about it, it shows the curves and lines of the car much better through shadows and highlights. Where Jet Black is almost "flatter" looking.

Sapphire hides imperfections much better than Jet black.

I have Jet black.
As said before: If it's clean, it's real nice as it is a very deep black (better than Sapphire i.m.o.).
The problem is that it only lasts for 3 seconds, then the car is dirty again.
If you have the discipline to clean your car very regularly, you should consider Jet black.
The pic is from when I just got the car, it will never look like that again...
