Do you prefer the removable top to have slider or non-slider windows?

I liked solid windows, they just looked cleaner.
I like sliders for the extra air circulation.
Solids. The vent windows are too much of a hassle. Too many seals, parts were hard to come by, tiny steel screws bonded to the aluminum frame, vent window pivots loose so they smack the window when shut, cheesy latch, etc.

solids...
Mine has one of each....not sure the backstory, but I get the best of both worlds lol.
Sliders. The solid windows suck.

Sliders ftw
Solids, simpler and clean looking. The sliders are busy to look at and the latches aren't serviceable.
Sliders when they are in good working shape. Soft top has solid windows 
solid.
you are going to use the sliders once or twice... and then end up fixing them 2 or 3 or 4 times...
I've never owned the sliding ones, but both of the other k5s that have come and gone through my little group over here had them. one set leaked water. the other set leaked water and wind and was really annoying.
-matter of fact, i have now siliconed the wind wings closed up front - they were old and all the rubber was failing... and they didt seal. i want everything simple. I will fix the AC before I fix the wind wings or worries about sliding windows on the shell.

Sliders
Sliders, even though I don't use them often. I even bought new latches for them.
I am very tempted to take the deflector glass off, they have been more in the way than they have been used.
Rear seat passengers have seemed to prefer being able to open the sliders.

I had sliders because the kids needed some air flow. If I didn't have passengers in the back seat, I wouldn't have an opinion.
My #1 favorite is the soft top with roll up sides.

Softop>Sliders>solid
Sliders for half cab.
Full class for full vert.

i trying to find solid windows to replace my nasty looking messed up sliders, but no luck. I can find the rubber & trim, but no glass. Anyone have luck with this?
Why not one slider and one solid?
My sliders & wings are in bad shape, lots of cracks etc. Need to find the curved fixed glass.
