Hi Bam., welcome..!

Climate comes into play as well. (don't know where you are)

Prob. more important are the seats., as both tops are plenty high.

Some folks put in aft. mkt. seats that are tall. This causes you to stare at the top of the windshield frame.

The stock seats are OK. My rig came with "VAN" seats..!! I pulled them & put in some 1980's Toyota seats. Now I can see out the windshield.

Do fill in your info. pages ...that info. shows on ev. post. This allows for accurate help on any questions.

My preference is the rag-top...., easy to remove for summer. >:D< <'>

HI Bam, I'm 6'3 and I have a Bestop ragtop with Corbeau SS seats and I have plenty of headroom. It is a little breezy in the winter.

I'm also tall 6'5", the only head room issues I've had are with my roll cage. I'm running 93 civic seats and my biggest problem is seeing stop lights. Back to the subject I run a bikini top for the summer and the hard top in the winter. I think if I were down south like you I'd run a bikini and soft top.
