Default Suggestions for a new top

So my 2002 S2k finally got a pretty big rip on the top of the cloth from wear and tear. I was thinking about replacing the top myself and I was wondering what is a better quality top. A Twill Grain Vinyl or Stayfast Cloth?

I've been looking online and I found a site that sells the Twill Grain Vinyl one for $415 but did some look up on ebay and found a stayfast cloth one that is suppose to be oem for $468.

Any suggestions?

Also, anybody know a good place to get it installed?

I have canvas now.... not sure it will last as long as the vinyl (the shop says it will last longer). I think it looks better than the vinyl.

Got it done at bascom upholestry. Top is a PAIN to change yourself. Some members have been "patching" their tops with good results to get them buy.

Bascom Trim & Upholstery
$1050 including parts and labor + 2 year warranty on the top.
$700 labor only if you bring your own top.

I called and that's the quote I got.
