Strip: cockpit cover sizes

Do most of you install a cockpit cover before cartopping your kayak? Seems like wind drag could be a problem with an open cockpit.
Was shopping around for one online and I don't understand how they're measured. The drop down size list might show 1.2, 1.4, 1.7 etc. up to 7.0. Can someone explain the significance of these numbers. I'm interested in a cover to fit a Joe Greenly Spring Run. I also want to keep scorpions and black widows out of it during storage.
