Actually I think the first iteration that RBR did looked better than just the T-Bar.



I still prefer open cockpit. Halo was introduced to prevent harm to drivers like Bianchi and Massa. However, I think both are freak accidents in their own. And Halo is more of a knee-jerk solution.

2009, Massa was hit by Brawn GP's rear suspension spring. This itself was rare, there's more chances on loose tires/wheels during short pit stops.

2014, Bianchi's Marussia lost control and hit a recovery tractor under rain. Since then, race control would introduce VSC/SC depends on situation and make sure cars are slow enough and controllable under rain condition, and when there's a stranded car to recover. Make sure the procedures will protect both track marshals and drivers.
