So, I'm going to go with Raggtopp myself. My question with it though is...Should I buy both the cleaner and the protectant, or just the protectant and just give the top a good soap and water cleaning??

I have used both on my top and strongly prefer the RaggTopp. I too have experienced 303 running off in the rain, and it's not because I applied too much of the stuff. I have never, on the other hand, experienced streaking with RaggTopp. But I will say that 303 darkens the top more than RaggTopp. YMMV.

Your call. It's not a one size fits all matter. Either works. You should do whatever works for you and suits your specific needs/wants.

Ive used both and both work great! I prefer the Raggtop though, it seems to last longer and its easier to clean off of surrounding surfaces. Also has zero silicone.

i dont know what you guys are talking about i use 303 and never has it ever streaked on the paint or windows it must of been left over soap from a wash and you didnt rinse it enough. then when it rains you think its the 303. must be because it happened to me once and thats how i realized it was soap because i smelled it and sure enough it was soap. dont expect to rinse the top with the garden hose it will not cut it you need to use high pressure water to rinse everything off then let it dry and apply 303 and gives your top a beautiful dark rich finish!! my top is already going on to 3 years and people stil ask me when i got a new top. trust me ive done it for other friends that havent washed there top for over a year and they love it. as a matter a fact a friend of mine called me up and i asked him about his top and after 2 and a half months he told me his top still looks great but he keeps it in the garage and has had it in rain and no problems. me on the other hand mine is always outside and even then it still lasts about a good month, month and a half.

Application:
Spray on, wetting the surface with 303 Aerospace Protectant. WIPE COMPLETELY DRY. Turn cloth over to a dry area (or use a second clean, dry, absorbent cloth) and polish to remove any and all excess. Following these simple instructions.getting the surface wet (not just damp) with 303, then WIPING COMPLETELY DRY, will give you a beautiful, like-new finish that repels soiling and stains and LASTS LONGER.

Just for fun Google:
303 Streaking
I am telling you, it streaks. There are all kinds of ideas and work arounds....but with RaggTopp, I wipe it on and wipe it off. No streaks.
If you cant see it on your car, buy a black one!
