Not exactly the OP's question but I just swapped a 4 year old Pavement Ends fastback for a Bestop Trektop fastback in twill this weekend and it was worth every bit of the cost to upgrade. The Pavement Ends top never really sealed correctly, especially the rear window. Before the PE top I was running a Bestop Sailcloth Replace-a-Top and was happy with it for about 10 years until it wore out and I decided to go the fastback route. I'll say that both the Bestop tops were worth the premium in terms of fit and seal. Higher quality zippers is also worth it if you plan on taking them on and off frequently. All I've got left of the PE top is the door skins, and neither one fully closes because the zippers are trash... they'll be replaced next.
FWIW, I also went from no carpet to a full Bedrug set this weekend... it's like a totally new vehicle in terms of driving comfort. I may just go back to the TJ as my daily.
