hi pete,
 i've always been under the impression that black plastic warms the soil
best and have had good luck solarizing the soil with clear plastic to kill
weed seeds thet germinate then cook under the clear plastic in either case
standing water on the plastic won't let that area warm up as much as places
where only plastic are another thing to make sure of is that the plastic is
snugg and kept as close to the soil as possible because if air can get under
the plastic you also loose some heat transfer to the soil  deb and randy
