I can't recall which fabric my new top has, but it's the same as the original 21 year old top was.....I believe it is the German A5. But best to seek the advice of the shop you choose. Given their experience I would ask and question them.

As far as the slightly reduced "service position" access with the glass window....to be honest it doesn't pose an issue for me. Once the top is in the "service position" I just use a bit of duct tape to secure the glass window an additional 2"-3", I've had plenty of room to replace the air filter, Mass Air Sensor and access the top of the engine with zero difficulty.

The big pluses with the glass are:
...Defroster wires
...Easy to clean
...No aging, fogging, hazing or cracking
...Slightly better sound deadening
...Looks better (IMHO)

Let us know what you decide and how it works out, no matter which you choose.....
