To each their own, but I am very cautious about DLC. I had a modded Steinhart DLC, and I saw small blemishes appear in the coating after a couple weeks of cautious wearing. I find that being considerate of a utility watch to be very disheartening -- the watch should be used, not babied.
So while I cannot speak to DLC in the rep world, I would consider your lifestyle, how well you look after the watch while it is on your wrist, and consider going with a ceramic model if it aesthetically works you too.
