I say gloss black, because it will blend in well with your tinted back glass and sunroof.

I'd leave it as is too. If you do matte, it'll look weird if cuz of the gloss from your sunroof. If you use gloss, it won't match with all your matte stuffs.

Im kind of surprised based on the amount of extra white things you have added (beyond tinting your headlamps and grill black) that you don't want to make your car whiter in effect by having a vynal put on your sunroof so its white as well.
