Shoes for suits

Hey y'all. I've got two suits on the way, one in medium grey and the other navy/dark blue, and I need your help choosing a pair of shoes to best go with them. I've got three in particular that I've got my eyes on, but I'm open to other suggestions.

1. These are Sanders cap-toe derbies and they seem like the safest bet. Least adventurous, but pretty much can't miss.
2. These are Rutt v-tip derbies, and I would say they are the pair I like the most, but my concern is that the color doesn't go with both suits well enough. I haven't been able to find a used pair in black. I've found new pairs and they retail around ~$500, which I'd rather not spend.
3. Here is a different v-tip derby I've found in black. This is a Chinese brand, Ray Kwok, which I've bought before and I know the quality is good. The thing is, I don't like the shape as much as the above Rutt v-tips.

So that's where my head is at. I keep going around in circles on these. Any other recommendations welcome, but I live in China so keep them general and not brand-specific, because a lot of brands aren't available here. A lot of Japanese brands can be found here though fwiw. Looking to spend less than $200 but flexible.

Thanks everyone.
