what is best material for BE tops [and others]?

Our BE has been out of service for nigh on two years, with the vinyl top folded in the boot. Went to put it on yesterday and it was fairly difficult to get it pulled over the rear clips due to shrinkage - we've had the same top for probably 20 years or more.
Our A-H 3000 has a different fabric top, but the cover is vinyl and has shrunk and pulled out one of the snaps.
I would appreciate thoughts as to materials for tops and thoughts for storage - I'm assuming that it would be best to have the tops installed when the car is stored?
Thanks,
Doug
 
My top is canvas and I love it. And yes, I put up the top in the winter
