can't comment on the others, cause no experience with them. I have a snapless roll-up one on my 08 150 and like it. it does allow some dust into the box. But nothing a hose can't take care of. It's made by Truxedo.

Lund makes a nice tri-fold cover. On or off in 30 seconds and it seals quite well...

Mine is the best of all three I think. I have "snaps" but the "snaps" lock into a track system that eliminates the problem of trying to line up a traditional snaping system. Seems to keep things clean and dry although I wouldn't want to try and keep things dry in a true driving rain. I can't think of the name of it off the top of my head but I will try to get it tonight and post it.

I have an Extang Tuff Tonneau. Snapless, uses a c-channel all the way around. I like the snapless look, just seems cleaner to me.

I like the look of the roll type.

off topic - I had to go with a folding hard cover (Bakflip G2) on my truck. I read about a guy that got a cigarette burn on his cover, and another that almost got his tools stolen.

Anybody tried or heard anything about the Lund Genesis Tri-Fold Tonneau Cover?
Do these flip top/clamp models keep rain out?.. to some extent anyway?
