I believe (someone correct me if I'm wrong) the blue dots have slightly smaller diameter pistons than the gold dots.
R1 in 2004 went to radial mount gold dots, but the 2003 gold dots are useable. Pre 2003 were blue dots.
I have had no experience with the silver dots.

FJZ1 1200 - It'll do me just fine.
Timing has much to do with the success of a rain dance.

IIRC, the gold dots have different pistons, designed to transfer heat less easily.
