I love your bargello! I think just a dark or medium binding will be perfect. I've made this pattern and that's what I did. I didn't want to distract from the effect.

I like it either way, but I would put a dark border on it.

I think binding alone would be nice.

Double ditto! What a beauty!

If you like to quilt feathers, a wide, dark border would be nice. Personally, I prefer bargellos without borders - just a dark blue binding would be nice for your beautiful, very peaceful top!
