you should get what you like.
no switch has an unique advantage for gameplay. I have played games using most switch types with equal success, except that I prefer lighter switches so my hands don't wear out quickly. Heavier switches are Blacks, Greens and Clears; the first two are tough for me to sustain for FPS games.
Find a local Fry's or Micro Center or other electronics mart which has some on display. Then purchase online.

Welcome to Geekhack!
No-one can really tell you what switch you will like - you will only find that for yourself after you have tried several keyboards.
I would tend to lean towards red or black for gaming, unless you specifically want tactile feedback (the bump you can feel as the switch activates). In that case blues are louder then browns. Also blues have the release point above the activation point which makes double-tapping problematic for some people (although I've not experienced that).

Please for the love of god don't listen to this guy... The Razer Blackwidow is quite simply one of the worst keyboards on the market, that includes rubber domes (It feels better than a rubber dome, but it doesn't last as long as one). I'd suggest going ten-keyless with a CM QFR, Ducky TKL, or Filco TKL, as to the switch... someone cant tell you what you like.
However, what I can tell you is that Cherry MX Blues have a thing called hysteresis, which basically means that to reset the switch you have to put it higher up than you do to activate it. For Starcraft II this isn't a big deal, but for anything that you have to move with your keyboard for then it does.
