My #1 "hayin' tractor", a 1981 Deere 2640, has the "SoundGaurd" style canopy. It's fiberglass on top with a well padded headliner. That kills noise better than the steel canopy I had on my MF150 for a time.
As far as shade goes...It's 96 here right now, bright hot sun, and no breeze. While ago I moved a couple wagons out to a hay field with the MF150 (no canopy now) and then took the 2640 and moco back home. It LITERALLY felt 20 degrees cooler under that canopy.
I generally don't do a lot of haying in the rain, nor do I do anything that isn't required in the rain. So that's a minor consideration at best. That's (one of the reasons) why they make fully enclosed cabs.
When I first bought that 2640 (used) I had plans to put the canopy in the shed and do without it. All it took was one hot day cultivating sweet corn to convince me it needed to stay right where it was at.
