I've been in a debate between LMM and MM subframes


Thats a big price difference between the 2.

If I went with MM should I go for the powder coated ones.. or just the bare metal and paint them black after they are installed.

You get what you pay for. I've seen pics of the LMM subs and I have MM's...the difference is huge.
With the powdercoated ones, you (or your installer) will have to grind off the powdercoating where welding...so the chance for rust is still there. That said, I opted for the bare ones, had the guy paint em after welding em in, and they still are trying to rust a bit near the ends and around the welds. If I had it to do over, I'd probably get the powdercoated to protect 95% of em, but paint will do a good job as well...you may just have to reapply every couple of years.
 
Heres some crappy pics of my MM coated full lengths....
