If you can find an 03/04 top in good condition that is the best option. I may be biased because that is the path I chose. However, MrBen makes a good case for an aftermarket top. The newest 03/04 top is now about 15 years old and a lot of people are looking for one.
If you find one in good condition the advantages over an aftermarket top are:
1. Easy installation
2. Better rear vision
3. Easier engine access, and
4. In my case I also added the headliner which was not available in the 2000 base Boxster
