I'd use grey, too. If you have places where you are sewing white to white (and it's not a black& white print) I'd probably switch to white thread, but if you have black and white sewing together, grey is good.

My first choice would be white.

I would use either the gray or the white. I tend to use white a lot no matter what color the pieces are as I use a fast array of them in most quilts. The real question will be what thread color to use when you quilt it together. There I would use wither gray or a totally different color such as red, or teal if you want the quilting design to show. Otherwise there too I'd use gray if you just want the quilting to blend in.
