Gloss has nothing to do with the weave and everything to do with the finish, you can still have a glossy piece with a 1x1 weave. The 1x1 weave is basically smaller strands, so it's harder to see the checkered effect and you'd have to get closer to even tell it's really carbon fiber. Personally I think the 2x2 weave looks far better.
