For side popouts, I like the stock type. They can be a bit pricey unless you get lucky.
VW Loosenuts makes a really good quality front safari (http://www.vwloosenuts.com/). I believe you'd need to use your own windshield.

Another vote for VW Loosenuts. You use your stock glass with his frame. He also makes extended side pop outs. I don’t have his, I have Pandragger’s version of the Randar Super Latches, used with my factory pop out windows. www.pandraggers.com
I also have Pandragger’s notched safari sliders for my Loosenuts safari. It gives me more peace of mind that it’s not going to move when I drive on the highway with it open, which is all the time.

Their site lists those as out of stock.

They usually make them in batches and then they sell out, and then they make more. You could send them an email asking when the next batch will be available. Definitely worth it in my opinion.
