Cast Your Vote!

We bought 10 different backsplash materials today to try to make a decision. We chose stainless steel panels to surround the range, but it's down to three types of tile for the majority of the backsplash and I need help. The choices are, from left to right, 3x6 stainless steel, Forged Iron glass/stone, and Bellagio Pebble glass.
Here they are in action at the laundry sink. First up, Bellagio Pebble. I like the silvery blue, but I'm not sure it goes with our granite. Also, the tiles aren't of a uniform depth, and I can't decide whether they'll look squished or not.
Next, Forged Iron. I like it, but the brown tiles are a weird texture. They make me think of a Cocker Spaniel. Also, the stone tiles mean than I'll have to seal them before putting them up.
Finally, the stainless steel. I don't know if the faucets and appliances will blend in too much with these. Plus, I'm probably more enthusiastic about these than I should be because 1) I love 3x6 subway tile, 2) they're peel and stick, and 3) I know those other two will be a pain to set, grout, and clean up.
Give me a call/text or leave a comment to share your opinion.
