In my opinion, copper tinted lenses are the most versatile. They provide very good contrast, and they are comfortable in both bright sun and low light conditions.
I don't like gray lenses - they cut out sunlight but don't enhance contrast. The whole point of polarized lenses is to help you see fish and bottom contours better, and enhancing contrast helps with that.
I used to have some yellow tinted polarized lenses, which were great in lower light, but hard on the eyes on a really bright day. Green mirror tint can be spectacular in some saltwater sight fishing applications (such as bonefishing on super-clear, super-bright grass flats in the Caribbean or the Keys), but I don't do enough saltwater fishing to have a dedicated pair of sunglasses for it.
Keep in mind that the tint of the lens is like a filter in photography - you have to think about what colors you want to de-emphasize and what colors you want to really "pop" for optimum fishing visibility.
Costa del Mar sunglasses are popular but I am partial to Kaenons.
