lots of posts on tipup vs. slider... do a search and you'll be overwhelmed.
Most people say:
tipup advantage - visibility (no rollbar brace in front of you)
tipup disadvantage - can become a sail in wind, and can let rain into panel when opened.
slider advantage - can open when taxiing - to stay cool (and look cool)
slider disadvantage - visibility (rollbar brace in front of you)
