I believe installation should be the same or very similar for both types. It is not too difficult; you have to remove the sail panels, the upper window trim, the visors, the rearview mirror, the A-pillars, the dome light, the upper seat belt mounts, and the clothes hooks if your car has them. Probably the hardest part is actually getting the board inside the car through the door openings. You will probably have to remove the front seats for this; I had to on my '75.
As far as recommendations go, I recovered my original headliner, so I don't really have any experience with the aftermarket pieces.
