cherry tree: Balaton or Blackgold?

Hello,
I have space for a single tree and want to plant a self-pollinating cherry. I want cherries primarily for fresh eating. I'm thinking of either a Balaton or a Blackgold and have read generally good things about both on this forum. Can anyone comment on whether Blackgold as a sweet cherry is considerably tastier eaten fresh? Would it be more prone to problems as I've read sweet cherries are? Finally, this is a pretty conspicuous spot in my small yard. Are either of them likely to be better from an ornamental point of view? Or are there other varieties I should consider?
Thanks!
Thanks for any feedback!
