Decision making: Custom Hood Vent design

I sketched up a few designs (please excuse the terrible scale but you'll get the idea) for the hood range cover.   You can get a better idea of the whole design by looking back here.  Which one do you like best?  Have any other ideas?
I have to give our cabinet builder a decision tomorrow or Friday-eek!  All these final decisions are exhausting.


*UPDATE*  We chose #6...hopefully we'll be happy with the decision.  Thanks for all of your input-it is really helpful. I was leaning towards 1, 5 or 6 all along but the hubs took a bit of convincing and you all helped in that matter :)

Signed Sealed Delivered

Hi there!
Last night Steve and I finished reviewing the final kitchen plans.  Pretty much everything was just how we wanted it....just a few minor revisions and also a few decisions that our cabinet dude had asked us to clarify.  So while this is oh so cool, I also am a little anxious being that this is it.  No more kitchen dreaming here.  No more changes.  Yikes!!!  Hopefully all the "research" slash picture browsing slash daydreaming will all pay off. 

 

If you notice on the first picture, I have written on in the hood vent area that the design is undecided.  This brings me to my next question....what design should we use for the hood?

He drew it up to have two panels that mirror the cabinets above.  While I like the look of two panels on a hood vent, I am unsure being that I don't want it to look too repetitive or too busy.  I also hate the look of hood vent covers that are made by just putting gluing two cabinets doors on them and calling it a day.  While this would not be just doors glued on, I fear that it may remind me of that.

 As always, I would love your input.  How did you design your hood.  Custom?  metal?  Still dreaming it up?
