The other advantage of black is if you need to do some touch up paint at any point (like cutting marks from the wrap), it's the easiest color by far to do it on. White is one of the worst.

Are you being funny or is this true? How can black be easier to touch up than white?

It's true, brighter colors are very sensitive to the surface they're on and the number of coats. Take a look at a new Porsche's mirrors vs bumpers vs body in different colors. Say for example you have a mark on a quarter panel in white you're going to need to blend a whole lot of the car to try to fade at the paint differences. If it's black, less blending is required.

It's all a trade-off, with black being more painful in terms of swirl visibility etc.

I spend too much time debating color choices with the shop that handles my new car prep before I order each car...

I'll take Slate Gray, Cobalt Blue or Vesuvius.

Else if Audi colors are available, Nogaru Blue or Nardo Gray.
