Having had a few black cars and a couple of them BC/CC I have to agree with Anthony and recommend a good single stage like the higher end PPG or something similar. Wet sanded and buffed out it looks a mile deep and you can fix chips etc easier without being able to see them when they're fixed. I don't think I've ever seen a BC/CC black car that compares to a well done single stage.
Another thing is that black cars need more maintenance and your car is a daily driver, soooo you're going to need to keep hand buffing it out to get rid of the swirl marks. Since you can't see as well how much clear you're laying on (or sanding off) you're more likely to buff through it later on down the road if you keep the car.
I may get flamed for this but.... as the owner of 3 vehicles with peeling clearcoats on regularly driven or outside kept vehicles that have been repainted (all by different professional body shops, not me) and now need to be repainted again because of it. If it doesn't have a clear coat the clear can't peel.
