Default Best type of post color size shape?

What do you like in a tomato post color, shape and size? What do you think works and looks best?

For post supports I prefer the 6 - 7 foot heavy T-bar fence posts with stabilizer plates on the end you drive into the ground. Most of them are green and some have a white top. These are the type used for reflector posts alongside roadways. That's what I use for Florida weave.

Otherwise I prefer wire cages.
