Vinyl roof moldings

So I'm considering refitting a vinyl roof to my '69 Charger. It is a White Hat Special that was originally T5 bronze but is now Hemi Orange.
I've always liked the look of a black roof with the orange but have been hesitant to install one until now.
There seems to be a few suppliers of the molding sets and they vary in price.
Are there any brands that I should avoid? Perhaps some of inferior fit and finish?
Perhaps I should ask if there's a set of moldings that stand out as being the set to buy.
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
Gotta love a '69

I don't know if there are actually multiple manufacturers (although it sounds like there may be). At one point someone made them in chrome plated plastic but they were horrible. Gunslinger makes really nice reproductions. I'm not sure who all carries them.

Those are just the "checkmark" pieces that go from the rear window to the end of the sail panel and wrap around. I don't believe anyone makes the straight stainless pieces that run along the outside of the sail panel but they aren't terribly hard to find used since they're stainless. Like these:

Sarcasm detector, that's a real good invention.
