For me it just depends on what his job of the day is:

Honestly, the only reason I customized my Destro is because of the oval printed on the silver head. The gold one didn’t have that.

It's a tough choice because silver is classic.
I choose gold though because Iron Grenadier Destro was my first version and he looks awesome! |

For me silver, or I would rather say Chrome ;) . Gold is great too, it was a great figure upgrade, one of the best of the original vintage line. For me gold is for special occasion, parades, epic operations, etc.
What I have to say though, is that in the DIC cartoon it looked a bit silly, because it just looked like yellow painted. I have to say that in the catalogue I always looked, the IG Destro looked a sort of platinum, middle way between silver and gold. I once had a IG Destro mint from it's box in my hands, and it was unbelievable how yellowy and shiny it was, it seems that shine didn't last more than 10 minutes in the oily hands of a boy!

From what I recall, Destro just flat-out took-over control of Cobra towards the end of The MASS Device.

I prefer Chrome head Destro myself, gold or silver, though the IG gold head version is a bit more badazz ;)

I've always preferred chrome headed Destro. I never felt much attachment to the gold head.

Silver with the IG outfit. Best of both worlds.
