The idea behind the bikini cut is the the trailing edge of the hood film is less visible. The downside is that you have slightly less coverage in the center of your hood than you would with a straight cut hood. On the contrary, the bikini cut cut offers slightly more coverage on the fenders. If installed properly, either cut will look great. The type of film will make more of a difference than the cut. Does your installer offer a "premium film"? Most manufacturers offer two grades of film. Two different manufacturing procedures provide one film that has less texture (orange peel) and this is the premium film. It really is better and makes a huge difference on dark colors like your car. I'd say go for the bikini cut with the premium film!
