Go with what you like. If you like pieds better, then get pieds.

For me, the big kicker is when I look at the relative combos:

I like clowns and pieds just about the same. However, I much prefer a super pastel clown to a super pastel pied. Just my personal preference and taste. If I want a snake with large white blotches, the rest of the snake's coloration and pattern become unimportant.
