What material for mini polytunnel is best?

I want to grow winter salad leaves on my veg patch and thought a mini polytunnel (about 50cm high) would help protect the plants. But which type is best? I have found clear plastic, fleece and netting options.
Does anyone have any advice about which type is best? Thanks!

Thanks Philippa. I'm in south London so normally we don't have mad winters. Will fleece get soggy if it's wet and/or frozen regularly?
I also wondered if getting plastic means that I'll be constantly watering by hand?
Any advice?
Brill - thanks for this. I'll try out a plastic one and see what happens....
Looking forward to getting some fresh salad in the grim months - fingers crossed!
