Well, you could go for a neutral grey but that would defeat the point in getting the best lenses that Serengeti have for flying, the "Drivers". They enhance contrast and let you see through haze a lot better without resorting to polarisation. Several people on the thread have said they have "Drivers", including me.
The photochromic goes from a medium tint to a medium/dark tint...it's not something you really notice changing in real life, it just adjusts itself automatically for the conditions. It works well. As HF says:

Finally what most of us have is "gradient" where the tint is greatest at the top and thinnest at the bottom, which allows you to see the darker inside of the aeroplane, specifically the panel, more clearly while still blocking a lot of the glare from outside.
So "gradient drivers - non-polarised" is what most of us would recommend. As for the frame, that's up to you, I have aviator style frames.

I also like the Velocity, but as Steve says, I believe they're discontinued now so you won't be able to get them to make your prescription glasses in them. You could ask though.

No, not if you get them ordered from the factory through their authorised dealers, they will make the lenses as prescription lenses, as shown in my "RX Program" link on page 1.
