Best paint option to redo a boat

Just wanted to ask if anyone has used awlgrip epoxy paint and their opinions of it vs. gelcoat. My boat is getting blue printed now and was on the fence about going full custom on the paint redo. The shop was leaning towards awlgrip instead of the traditional gelcoat. They’ll use either product for the same price so it’s my choice, but I’d never heard of awlgrip until they brought it up.
The boat is a 2004 25’ Outlaw that I’m restromoding so to get the custom color cockpit interior we like it’s a full color change on the boat. It’s a big project so I wanted to use whatever works the best.
My wife and I were thinking of a royal blue color with a more subdued scheme like newer boats, which the paint shop will carry into the cockpit area and engine bay. The vinyl will be the baseball glove looking tan that has the broken in look.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

I have black Imron single stage on the bottom of ours and basecoat / clearcoat on the sides and top, as well as inside the cockpit.
