Surely it comes down to what 'you' prefer. Just look at pictures and decide which you're drawn to.

Bead set is how Rolex factory bezels are designed. Channel set is a bit more modern in my opinion, with a slightly stronger look, best if you prefer no gaps between the stones. I prefer channel set.

There are different variations of either one, but I would go for channel set baguettes (like on the rainbow Daytona). It looks like a normal smooth bezel in person.

Bead set looks better and less dirt/dust can get in there.

I prefer channel set myself.. from what I can tell usually Rolex manages to get bigger diamonds in there with the channel set bezels, and bigger is always better in my book
