There are a ton of options which one works the best and for dark colors?

I have no idea. I use the Dr. Beasley's Bead Hero and at a minimum, it adds clarity to the clearcoat.
When picking products for dark colored cars, because most cars are clearcoated, you actually want products that maximize clarity of the clearcoat, which is the topcoat, so your eyes can see through it to the basecoat color below.
This hold true for abrasive technology. Great abrasive technology creates a totally clear surface. Inferior abrasive technology removes defects, but at the same time leaves behind it's own defects. Defects, and in this context, we're talking about micro-marring from the machine application of inferior abrasive technology, means the abrasives are leaving their own defects behind in the form of tiny scratches or tick marks.
The tiny scratches or tick marks on the surface of the clearcoat cloud your view by turning the clearcoat opaque.
Maybe buy a few different products and test them out on specific panels for a few months and pay attention to any differences?
