When it comes to framing photographs clean simple lines work best as do white and off white mats. 8 ply bevels add an elegant touch especially if you use a narrow frame; and, if you are going to use a narrow frame, make sure it is deep enough to include a wood strainer support.

I prefer plexiglas to glass, but if reflection is an issue, Tru-Vue Museum glass does a nice job of eliminating glare.

A properly framed photograph will last for ages.
