Default Best bed cover?

I have a factory GM soft bed cover on my 2004 SS Silverado and it is in kinda rough shape. I love the cover but its time for a new one since this one is getting rough. Which cover do you guys suggest? And if you could, please post a photo of yours, thanks!!

I have a tonneau sport cover from access. This one is lower profile I guess compared to the larado cover that my parents have. I like both.

I've got a TonnoPro folding cover on my 2007. Pretty inexpensive, easy to take on/off if you ever had to, no hardware to mount in the truck. Been on the truck 24/7 for almost 2 years now and it's looks and works like new. Only thing I've ever done to it is re-stick the weatherstripping with some better 3M stuff. I'd buy another one in a heartbeat.

Backflip F1 folding cover. I've had 3 for different trucks. 60 lbs and will support 400 lbs on top.

ARE had them on multiple different gm trucks over the last 20 years never had a single problem. I installed a GM OE hardcover on my 11 and had 3 different failures of that POS before they caved and put a ARE brand cover on it for me.

Only thing that limits me, is that i have a shaved tailgate so it has to be one that i can open from the outside. I believe those flat trifold types have to be opened from the inside?

looks good like a soft cover but is a hard cover and you can buy them for half of the others. so far its been good.

I prefer redheads for a bed cover
