Default Cloth or OEM Twillweave replacement

I am getting ready to pull the trigger on a new top. I just want some final opinions from everyone, then I promise to stop asking!

I just want to know what you guys think looks better and will be more reliable? I have found both materials for a decent price and both have a 5 year warranty.

Thanks for the input

Carbon fiber fabric would look awesome! Not sure how well it would work though..

i have a 06 and on page 7-2 it states,proper car and handling should be observed to maintain a good appearance of the soft top.improper care may cause the cloth's surface to stiffen,stain,or mat.so i have been using 303 fabric protectant vs using the 303 vinyl protectant i used on my s2000.what protectant are you all using?

I am positive the top is not a cloth but a vinyl. That was a great description in that link, thanks for posting that.

Any feedback on what you guys have been really happy with. I was thinking about the Haartz cloth top or the Haartz OEM material.
