We installed the Stamoid/Stratglass combination together with a hardtop when redoing our fly bridge and I must say I am happy with it. I recommend using 40 mil Strataglass all around. I am not sure what you mean by screens but what we did, which is possible with a hardtop, is install an extra track so sun shielding screens can be installed and clipped at the bottom of the "windows". In practice we rarely use them however, leaving the back door rolled up seems sufficient up north - well maybe not right now with this heat wave! If you are re-doing the whole thing you might consider the hardtop- it lasts for the life of the boat, you can put your antennas, horns etc up there and the seagulls can't destroy it - they did a hell of a job on my soft top when at a mooring. It also is completely waterproof, and can have a sun visor/rain deflector overhang in front. I suspend my radar from it and even have a Heatercraft unit on the fly bridge for late summer cruising. Incidentally I would recommend turn buttons rather than snaps for securing the Stamoid, it is a heavy material. Also weep holes on the outside below the window stitching.
