Ebony will look elegant and not detract from the top.

If the top finishes like that (meaning, if that picture is faithful as to what the top will look like finished) I'd definitely go for a fingerboard that has a solid color with little or no grain differentiation. Go with the ebony...that bass will be sweet. |

Ebony shall do nicely. |
