There should have been a both option.
HT for the winter months makes the car nice and snug. Visibility is better and it transforms the car into a coupe.
ST is perfect for the warmer months and you simply store the HT until winter comes back round.

soft top is great, i was a top always down guy. my soft top however has a broken window and tears, i patched it all but i'm too lazy to yank it all out and replace it (most likely going to tear again and not to mention vandalism of people slashing the top).
so, i added a cheap hardtop. it's great for the colder winter months and hot summer months. you can take it off whenever you want and you always have the soft top underneath as a backup (don't have to remove it).
buy a used top and if you don't like it you'll be able to re-sell it and recover all of your money, so there is no financial risk. oem is best with it's great visibility, excellent fitment, and rear defroster. the mugen style ones however look better.

My soft top has tears, and my back window is cracked to all hell. I'm currently on the lookout for a used ap2 top, but if I had my choice, disregarding price, I'd go hard top without hesitation.
My main problem with getting a hardtop is that I'm a weight savings nut. With my interior already nearly stripped, my soft top would be gone immediately.
