1997 Ws6 - HARDTOP
Just depends on the person. A hardtop really isn't any less desirable to me. My preference would be T-tops, then a hard top, then a distant third is a convertible, but I could be perfectly happy in a hardtop. My brother had a red 97 WS6, but I think it has T-tops. Great looking cars.
Considering that T-tops became standard on T/A coupes in '98, a HT T/A is a rare bird. As far as "desirability", that depends on the buyer.
a hardtop is more desirable to me , i hate how t tops look . I specifically looked for a hardtop 6 speed formula when i bought my car . If i knew what i know now i would have bought a 99-02 trans am , f the 98's lol and replaced the top with a carbon or fiberglass one from 6le when they were around .

I like both, but the 4th gen roof line is perfectly suited for t-tops and that's my preference for a driver type example. All four of mine have had t-tops but I rarely use them on my '98 in an effort to keep the interior spotless (show car) so, as such, it would be fine with me if this car was a hardtop. On the other hand, I used to use them ALL the time when I still had my '02 Z28 as a 3-season daily driver - great fun. 
IMO, "Rare" get tossed around a lot these days. Like most question: How many are still on the road after 25 years?
I just acquired a Black 1997 TA WS6, Hardtop, 6spd, Cloth Interior. Breaking down the RPO Codes with how the car was optioned, it's: 1 of 86.
Hardtops have the cleanest lines on F-Body cars and even more so with the WS6 package.

Convertibles do NOT leak if properly maintained and garage kept. We hit some deluges on our Rte 66 trip last year and not a drop inside.
