The "marching ants" style is perfect for simple, hard-edged selections. This style doesn't obstruct artwork visibility, yet for more complex selections it may be confusing
Semi-transparent color overlay shows both the artwork and the mask at the same time.
Fully opaque color overlay allows you to apply precise editing to the selection mask, like softening edges or manual painting of the mask.
Note that the color of the mask overlay is for your convenience only; you may use a color contrasting with your artwork for better visibility or a neutral color.
Mask overlay opacity set here doesn't affect the "strength" of the selection mask; it is only a visual style.
