Question Best New Body Panel Parts

I'm trying to find out who carries the best quality body parts for a 1970 Olds cutlass. I'm not looking for old parts, just new. I'm working on a full restore and need to nail this down. I've looked into OPGI, Fusick, and Brothers. I can't tell if any one is better than the other since this is my first Olds restoration. I basically need everything including fenders, door skins, rear quarter skins, truck and hood. Any experiences with these vendors or others would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Fiberglass or steel?

Steel, except for the hood. The hood will most likely be fiberglass because I haven't been able to find any new steel ones and like I said, I don't want used.

I think Thornton's has the best but I'm not ready to drop $2,500 if I can help it. Fiberglass is a little tricky because if it's not an SMC compression mold you can have problems with air bubbles that come up through the gel coat. But if Copper Cutlass has any info, I'll all for it! Thanks
