The orange is less common, but you need to get what make's you happy. If it's a tossup and practical considerations come into play, I think the orange/blue/white will stand out more in traffic...

Orange and blue looks too toy store-ish. But, get whatever you like.

As much as it pains me to say it, I like the orange one better. But I could never ride it... if only they made one in garnet and gold!

color is a personal thing and what's currently hip shouldn't matter to you. my guess is you like the orange because if you liked the silver you would have just gotten it but since the orange is more uncommon you wanted to check opinions first. I could be wrong though.

Which is faster? The way I see it it doesn't matter 'cause you can't see the color when you ride.
Enjoy The new equipment!!
