I know this might be an unpopular opinion but embossed steelbooks are bad 99% of the time. (the only exceptions are The Prestige from Blufans and Alita Battle Angel Film Arena imo)

Debossed steelbooks are much better and are much more classy/elegant. I'm not going to mention them all but Total Recall from StudioCanal, Manta Lab releases (Wonka, Dune, Dune Part 2, The Matrix...) are so good.

I would like to know your opinion about that so there's a poll.
 
It depends on the overall artwork, so can't really say whether either one is bad/good. Some designs even look better with no bossing whatsoever IMHO. The better question is matte or gloss... no steelbook should be pure matte! Spot-gloss at the least ;)
