T-Top Drip Weather Stripping Components and Plastic vs Rubber

My T-Top drip weather stripping is pealing badly. What components do I need? Is it just the T-Top Side seal and out drip edge seal?

Also which outdrip seal is better; Plastic or Rubber? My car has rubber but is plastic stronger?

I only replaced the drip edge. I went with the rubber ones and they worked out very well. That being said, my car will never again be exposed to conditions that made the original rubbers fail so quickly in the first place.
