Default How do you think a bargello should be quilted?

I've seen many bargellos that are quilted along the color lines (diagonally), which would be fairly easy for me to do on my little machine (and I've done that before). I've seen some beauties, though, that have amazing quilting (feathers, waves, etc.) that really accentuates the motion of the quilt.

For a bargello, I think a lot of the beauty lies in the big picture and the color blending, so I don't think a less fancy quilting pattern (like the diagonal lines) would take away from it. I know there are places to rent a longarm near me (which might be a cheaper option than having someone do it for me), but I've never done it before. What do you all think?
