All of those mentioned are good choices. I settled on the Undercover Flex and have been pleased with it. The only problem is on a wet, icy morning a line of moisture freezes at the back edge and won't let the tailgate open. That may be true with all of them. there are some good comparison videos on YouTube.
Yep happens to mine as well, I found smearing some Vaseline on the rubber prevents the freezing.

Yeah, same issue with the Rollbak I bought - that and in milder winters like I am now in BC, where the snow is wetter, melts, then some freezing, the canister fills with ice and you can't open it at all. Plus the QA is poor....
I went with the BakFlip VP for the low profile look. Had it a year and it's been great...tri-fold and the panels do fold up against the window but no problem so far. Pretty good at keeping things dry on long trips with luggage in the bed.
Only decent pic I have, but I have the Ford branded bakflip and love it so far. I installed bull ring tie downs (5.5' bed) and put my son's bikes on top for our last camping trip. I've never had an issue with water in the bed and it's had a few inches of snow on it before. bakflip is cheaper than Ford brand though, lol. Best purchase for the truck yet.
