Im confused which is best in terms of gaming, outdoor, and general use. I've seen it at the store but i need some advice the guy at the store didnt seem to know.

I have the matte. It's great. I have only seen the glossy screens on the regular Macbooks and don't really like them.

The colors on the Glossy screens just seem to look so much better but they can be bothersome at times with lights behind you or especially when outdoors. That being said, I still chose a glossy.

Again, it all depends on what you want to do. For the average every day user, Glossy would be fine.
Unless you plan on doing professional grade graphic design work, then go for the matte screen. Glossy really skews the colors and doesn't give you as true of a representation as the matte does with respect to design work.

If you are working on photos or graphics, get matte.

Glossy has very rich dark tones. Glossy also gets finger prints a lot easier.
