If you could choose 1 lens for golf/everyday use which one would it be? (Polarized or non polarized)

Correct. It's a great lens, I have it for my Fast Jacket. But it's not a very dark lens, and doesn't work well for bright conditions. For a golf/everyday combo, I think OO BIP (which is basically a darker version of G30) is the best.
Regular Black Iridium has a grey base so the tint is natural. OO BIP has a rose base, so it is a contrast lens that increases contrast. It works especially well for golf, where the slight differences in shadows on a green are accentuated. I love the tint to it and it really makes things pop in all uses, not just golf. OO Red Polarized would be a similar view when looking out of the glasses as OO Black Polarized, but obviously look different when other people look at you. A combo of OO Red Polarized and regular Black Iridium Polarized would be an awesome way to go.
G30 and G40 are the same lens with just different light transmissions, aren't they?The OO series uses a G40 base lens, allowing for a greater range of light condition usage. Basically it has the same light transmission as a Black Iridium Polarized lens, yet allows for a greater light range of use. For example over cast conditions, the OO will allow greater visibility than a straight black iridium.
