There is simply no comparison between the Tektro sidepulls and Paul
centerpulls. The Paul centerpull modulation and stopping power is
much, much better. I have the Tektros on my Bleriot, and have two sets
of Paul centerpulls on other bikes,

It's just for looks. Me, I like shiny stuff on classic bikes. But my
cyclocross racer has black centerpulls.

The difference in price is $10 per wheel for polished vs. anodized.
