I would definitely go with the Limo tint, it matches your color scheme. Anyways, I've never been a fan of any kind of mirror tint.

35% up front and limo in back doesn't look so bad... But I'd do Limo all around, if you get stop plead ignorance and just peel of the side and re-do em. I just did My tint and my Wife's and it's actually REALLY easy. I just left the Back windows for the professionals cause of the defrost threads.

Lemme see if I can post a pic... i got 35% on the side front and Limo on the side back (which is illegal for me) and Limo on eyebrow

I'd go with limo. As for the front windows, get them tinted darker than 35%, but not super dark if you're worried. When you get pulled over, just remember to roll both windows down :)

I heard those put on your own tint packages aren't that good because they start to bubble after a while
is that true?

I'm sure it's not as good as the stuff you pay the professionals to put on, but it still comes w/ a lifetime warranty. And when I had the professionals put tint on my probe after 5 years I got some Hazing on the back window. Not bubbles but just blurriness. It's hard to describe. Anyway even if I have to redo it every couple years i'm still saving a junk load of dough.
