Need a new headliner

So far I found stockinteriors.com and classic industries that have the best color matches (interior is 1997 Dark Pewter)

Which of these two have the best quality?

Just got the car back from the body shop to fix the cracks in the door - good as new!

They found three cracks that needed SMC repairs, then they repainted the door and blended the rear quarter.
