I know I wont be doing it often, but which clay do you guys think will work nice on windows?

Absolutely yes. I find myself doing it more often. It really is an excellent method of removing hard-to-see contaminants.
A few (auto) mfrs recommend claying when someone complains about chattering windshield wipers. It`s also a great way of removing overspray from glass - - ask me how I know
As a follow-up, I`ll typically use a sealant on all glass but the windshield, don`t overlook the sunroof. I use Aquapel on the windshield.
Lots of guys really get in to all the different type of clay, but honestly... to me, clay is clay. I just clay the window with whatever type of clay I`m using on the car. And that`s always the cheapest clay I was able to find at the time.
Glass is *much* harder than a car`s paint job, so you really don`t have to worry too much about using a clay that`s too harsh.
I treat the exterior glass the same way as the paint from start to finish. It gets clayed, abrasive polish, glazed, and LSP`d just the same.

Pepboi sells it now. IIRC, it`s $8/application. Others have reported COSTCO offering a 4pk for $16...that`s an excellent price.

You can use clay on the windows. I would start with a clean bar in case there are contaminants in the clay from detaling the the body of the car. The inside I would not touch, especially if the windows are tinted. Wash them down after claying with lubricant and polish them up.
I`d only go this route in extreme cases.
