So in scenarios where you have direct sunlight shining on your screen, glossy is better.

On the other hand a glossy screen is a mirror and distracting compared to a matte screen in all other cases.

I've never been in a situation where I couldn't prevent direct sunlight from hitting my screen. I am in conditions all the time where reflections would distract me and I cannot orient the screen to fix it. This doesn't seem like a difficult decision.
