Default Which colour thread to use

I am making my DGS his American Flag quilt and he wanted it to look like an American Flag so I used Kona's off white and red. Now the problem I have is what colour thread to use to quilt it? It has a red flannel back and the start patch is an over all scattered star pattern. It is a basic quilt, but this is what he wanted. I planned on quilting it with an overall diamond pattern. I have invisible thread but have never used it for a project like this and wonder if it will hold up for the test of time? If I use white it will stand out on the red, if I use red it will stand out on the white, so I am lost...
