Actually the best of the best is the OEM top.You want the best of the best? That would be the Bestop Supertop NX Twill.
That is the factory top that Jeep uses from the factory (yes, Bestop supplies Jeep with the factory soft tops). It is hands down the best fitting and highest quality soft top you'll be able to get
You can get it with tinted windows or clear windows.
Correct on both counts, that twill fabric is their top of the line. I should have said I would recommend Sailcloth at a minimum with the the twill being an even better choice if $$$ is no object. But make no mistake, choosing the Sailcloth would not be selecting a lower quality top, it was formerly their top-of-the-line fabric until the twill fabric was introduced. New Wranglers come with Sailcloth so that's still saying something for its high quality.Actually, I was told that the twill was even thicker (and a step up) from the Sailcloth. Am I wrong?
I believe the twill is also pricier.

I hope that's what you meant to say.There's several others out there such as Smittybilt, Rugged Ridge, Pavements Ends, etc. But those ones are (not) going to be the same quality as the OE tops.

It all comes down to money and what you want out of it. The Bestop tops will usually last much longer than the others, so in a way you get what you pay for.
You do get what you pay for. My $250.00 top don't fit like the original top. My wife wasn't real happy with me when I bought the TJ, so I had to spend as little as possible to cover my jeep before winter set in. HaHaView attachment 1990
it's louder than the original top and tends to buffet if that makes sense
Exactly it's pretty annoying but I just turn the ac on because it's always hot here and the minimizes it. If I still hear it I play music louder hahaThis is why I finally ended up just ditching the soft top for the hard top. I couldn't stand how loud it was and how it would buffet like you say, especially at highway speeds. That thing would just inflate like a parachute in the front.

That sounds more like an aftermarket soft top, the OE Sailcloth top shouldn't do that. I saw a really cheap top on a TJ a couple weeks ago and its top was thin looking and so inflated it looked like a bubble.I couldn't stand how loud it was and how it would buffet like you say, especially at highway speeds.
