I know there are a lot of clear cases out there, but which one is the best one that will not only showcase the gold, but also provide good protection?

Your best bet would probably be a clear TPU case from Luvvitt. I know there's the Power Support Air Jacket but it's just to keep the phone thin and provides little protection, only against scratches. Same with the Caudabe Veil. I know Spigen has a wide variety of cases, including clear. I would suggest checking them out.

I have a gold 5s.
My cases:
Lifeproof nuud (white)
Spigen Tough Armor (gold)
Spigen Slim Armor S (gold)
Spigen Neo Hybrid EX Slim (gold)
Caudabe Veil (frost)
Magpul Field Case (flat dark earth)
Otterbox Armor (arctic)
Ringke Fusion (mint)

MY IMO:
Good protection : Spigen Tough Armor or Spigen Slim Armor S
Best looking : Spigen Neo Hybrid EX Slim or Caudabe Veil

My wife has the frost Caudabe Veil on her gold iPhone. It looks very good. The gold is slightly washed out if you compare it with a naked iPhone, but otherwise it's hard to tell.
