I did the SFI (which is directional like 90* coverage, not 360* coverage) and it doesn't bother the top at all.. it's on the forward face of the bar (where your noggin is) and shouldn't bother with the top. I think I got mine at Jegs/Summit and then used a "universal" lace up cover from JC Whitney that was like $50 but worked superb.

This is Ivica,
I don't use padding as I think it would interfere with soft top, meaning
you would have to press onto the padding to fit it over. Why do it then?
The M2 hard dog sport for hard top fits with glass rear window, offers the
same protection as all these dual diagonals, and it also allows the hard
top side latches to close.
It does not interfere with seat travel.
I have it on my 1993 LE...with door bars which I also highly recommend.
Cheers
Ivica

Ivica also recommended the NB/M2, but off of a used car. What makes the
M2 better than the M1? Any other reason not to get the padding from Hard
Dog also, or is it just price? I probably also should have mentioned
that I need one that will fit with my hardtop also. Mainly I’m confused
on why an M2 because if they both fit why offer an M1 at all?

I just put on a Hard Dog Sport on my wife's 2001 with the help of some
buddies. It was the easiest rollbar install ever. 4 honest hours of work,
start to finish, with no hurrying. Everything fit beautifully. Hard Dog
has really come a ways since I installed my HDHCDD in my 97 eight years
ago.
The long drillbit is totally worth it. Mine drilled 5 of the 6 holes
needed before it broke. Fortunately, a short one was able to drill the
6th rear leg hole.
The HD Sport fits fine with the glass window.
Get an NB top and an NB (er, M2 as they're called by HD) rollbar. I'd get
something that would allow for future hardtop use. And get some SFI
padding! I like the stuff that racerpartswholesale has. $20ish per stick.
