stainless steel-vs-matte-vs-polished blue

[hunt4ever]

I'm a new member to this forum and I'm looking for some advice regarding types of barrels. I recently purchased a 700 cdl 264 win mag with 26" matte finish fluted barrel. I had originally planned to have it polished to a high blue finish. My questions are: Do you think stainless steel barrels are better regarding longer life and greater accuracy? and Do you think stainless barrels are more visible to deer when hunting?
