I have the moonlight pearl, I honestly prefer it. It has a bluish tinge to it when viewed in direct sunlight, as well as the metallic flakes. It's really pretty nice.
When you go to do a touch up, most of the time you would need the base coat, and the mid coat. For tiny chips, one can get away with the top coat. I recommend moonlight!
The other white is flat....depends on what you prefer...

Crystal White Pearl (aka Blizzard White) is code 070 and is pretty common throughout the Toyota range. Its a 3 stage pearlescent (just like any pearl white really, its not possible to have that effect as a single stage), Moonlight White is a Lexus only colour I think, and there is a big difference between the two. Crystal White is a lot cleaner and uses white pearl and silver white flake pearl in its effect layer, while Moonlight White looks a bit greener on the face in comparison. I've never sprayed Moonlight White before so I couldn't tell you what is in the effect layer
