I bought a 2003 top from LA Porsche Dismantler (great people) then paid a tech to install it in 2009. It was a plug and play swap and one of the best mods I have done;

Plastic. It is a larger rear window giving you more rear visibility. Also, it does not frost up in extremely cold weather like it does on glass.

Glass! Use isn't temperature dependent. Won't crack in colder weather if not warmed up. Won't crack if stored down all day or over night and top is brought back up. Won't yellow. If your lucky you can get one with a defroster.
