I'm in NC and I take more doors and top off.I have both the Hard Top and the Soft Top. The Gladiator I wanted at the dealer only had the Soft Top and the dealer charged me a bit under $2300 for the Hard Top.
I got the truck in the Winter and had the Hard Top on until early April. I was thinking that maybe I would have been better off with just the Best Top Sunrider but after putting on the Convertible Top I can say it would not be the same. Taking off the Freedom panels is nice but not as good as full top down driving. The Soft Top open air feel is just much different. The Soft Top is much easier to put up and down than it is on my JKU. I can put it up and down in just a few minutes. If you don't remove the back Window than it is really just a few seconds. I almost never remove the doors or go top off because in NC in the summer the is never a 0% chance of rain. Still in the Winter I would rather have the Hard Top and the Freedom panels are nice on the random 60-70 degree days we can get in the winter.
If you have the space to store the Hard Top I would get both tops. If I had to make a choice between only one, I would pick the Soft Top but I also have not been without a convertible for the last 30+ years.
