Advice on Restaurant Outfit

Greetings, Gents. I'm going out this weekend with a group of people for dinner. It is just your average suburban restaurant, where the upper end of most patrons' attire is business casual, mostly young people. By just wearing a blazer, I'll be one notch sharper than most of the men, which is what I'd like. I'd like advice on shoes and blazer combo. Here is the base outfit:

-jeans, medium-dark wash, minimal distressing, perfect fit
-crisp button-down, white background with green and blue stripes

I have two pairs of leather shoes:
-a pair of black cap-toe bals with brouging, that have been to hell and back but kept polished (read: character)
-a pair of burgundy penny loafers

I have two blazers:
-black wool, vented, three-button with black buttons
-navy wool, non-vented, two-button with navy buttons

I have belts to match each pair of shoes.

What say ye?

How many vents does the other blazer have? Is it a double side vent or a single one in the middle?

Since someone will end up saying it sooner or later:

This thread is useless without pictures.

My opinion is wear the black bals with the black blazer.

Are you going to tuck the shirt in or wear it out?
