If hard water is an issue in your area, wiping off the water spots will always be an issue

Hard water spots can be an issue no matter which finish you use. If you're going to have glass and be squeegeeing after every time the shower is used, ask yourself if you think you would want to run a towel over the fixtures afterwards too. Unless you have multiple shower heads and valves, doing that isn't a big deal. But if it's not the primary bath, all bets are off as I don't know how easy it would be to get kids and guests to do that.

We absolutely have the Delta matte faucet, tub filler, and showerhead. I asked the owner of the faucet supply place how to keep the tub filler from getting hard water spots on it, and she recommended waxing it. That did nothing. I could not get dear daughter to wipe the black matte off after showering. I think we choose our battles, so I love the look, but it definitely shows our hard water.

Do yourself a favor and go with polished chrome. It looks beautiful, goes with any style, and cleans up very easily. It will look just as good in 10 years as it does the day you install it.

IMO chrome is classic and easy to care for.

I have matte black fixtures in my bath and I wipe them dry every single time I used them. And they look perfect. I squeege the shower door as well. I don't mind but you might not agree.
