Are you looking for suggestion of tops or are you looking for a top to purchase? If it is the second you need to make a want to buy thread in the WTB section of the marketplace. If it is the first then I would look into the robbins tops as they are a popular option over an OEM top as they are cheaper and fit well.

Define "best". What's you budget for the top? There are many prior threads you can reference. If search isn't working for you then try a site restricted Google search. Here's an example and you can modify the keywords as you see fit.

Robbins and EZ ON are popular because of pricing. Here's one post (granted, it's several years old now) commenting on them and other options.

If you're replacing the soft top definitely go OEM. Yes the aftermarkets are cheaper but they don't always exactly fit perfectly and usually require stretching for a couple of days before they allow you to put your soft top back up without any assistance. And make sure you get the straps to go along with the top, the shop will most likely try not to include them.

I've purchased a Haartz before. Was very happy with it. Quite durable and fit perfectly.
As mike said, when you first install it, it will be a bit tough to close as it needs to stretch. Parking the car in the sun for a day broke it in nicely for me.
I wouldn't go OEM. The material used does not last long and is known to wear and tear quick. Plus, if I recall correctly, it costs twice as much.
