My first mmpb had a matte cover, the second glossy, and I pleaded with her for a matte cover on the third, simply because I think they look so much better, and she came through for me.
I like the look of matte better, myself--but it takes fingerprints and general wear a lot more easily than the gloss; it also curls more in humidity.
But in either case, the cover stock for mass markets isn't causing the same confusion or assumptions because at this point no one is self-publishing mass markets.
