Congrats! I just placed my order for an '07 987 S on Saturday. Also in meteor, but with a black interior.

You can see how I spec'd it here:

I did see a terracotta and seal, which should look similar to meteror, but it was a coupe. The meteor looks blue-ish in the pics I have seen. Very close to Seal. So, I think I would opt for a metropol top-- I think it will be a little more subtle and blend better. Cocoa just clashes IMO and black and terra I think will look mismatched.

Terra is nice, but I like it better on a coupe. Though it will look sharp when brand new, givenhow long you plan to keep the car, it's pretty expensive and unforgiving color to be exposed to the elements IMO for all those years.
