How well do the B pillars hold up in a Z rollover?

Most of the stock parts are designed to give. Even the "hard" bits on them. They'd really hurt to smash your head on, but they *will* give a little. That rollbar won't give, ever. Top windshield frame is kind of out of the picture though, unless you have no seatbelts and no airbags.

and if you are planning on finding a mounting point for your eventual hoop, why not just have it made half height for now to strap harnesses to?

Being strapped into a harness without a rollbar over your head is definitely-bad. You roll over and you're basically dead.
