Tip-up canopy....

One of the common arguments I've heard in favor of the sliding canopy is that is what "real" fighters use, from WWII to modern jets such as the F-16 etc.

That argument isn't as valid as it was before - look at what the production F-35 uses :

I am sure that for 50 million dollars they chose the best option for the canopy.

The argument is not valid if there is a need to make a big cut

Yeah, and it can also blow..

...if the driver needs to eject. We don't have that option.
