Will the bar tape last very long in normal use conditions and if not will it be hard to find matching bar tape?
...that sort of bar tape, believe it or not, seems to last forever, and is pretty washable.
The major drawback to it is lack of padding, but you can just weatr padded palm cycling gloves, which is a good idea anyway.
I use a gel corked bar tape that I get on sale at Performance, and wear gloves with padded palms as well, because I am worth pampering.
I think you can still find various tapes of a similar look, but another member might be of help, because I use that black gel corked stuff mostly.
