Find out what the OE style one is in terms of materials:
Stainless vs aluminum frame, stainless is stronger but more expensive...
Sunbrella fabric vs cheaper ones, Sunbrella lasts longer and keeps its color better....
Having said that the aluminum frame I have is fine even after being used in salt water environment for a long time, and when the fabric needs to be replaced I'll just get my canvas guy to make me a new one....
One thing I did, that the factory does not do, is mount the top on slider mounts, so I can slide it back to get it out of the way for working on the engine (winterizing) or when I have a couple of guys fishing and the bows would be in the way....

I mounted it this way because eventually I may have an enclosure made and having it on the inside like this makes that easier.
