I have been looking at various box covers. Nice selection available. What did you put on your truck?
Any special one that many have installed and think it may be the best one?

This is the one I have on my 2018 F150:

My old 2012 had the Undercover SE:

Both kept the water out very well. The only negative thing is that it takes 2 people to remove it when needed (not because it's that heavy but to prevent damage).

I have a RollBak G2. They don't make them anymore, and I got a good deal on it as the dealer wanted to get rid of it. It's a leaky POS, but it's fine for right now. I'll probably leave it with the truck when I get rid of it and get a different one.

I tried a BAK Revolver X4 on my 2018 F150 and it was a real POS. Within a week the bed was full of water, the seals all started separating. The quality was very poor in my opinion. Fortunately, the place I bought it from agreed, took photos, contacted BAK, and they provided a RMA to the accessory shop for return and credit. Then purchased the Undercover Ultra with no regrets.

I have the Undercover Elite LX on mine. Not real heavy at 68 pounds, but it does take 2 people to lift it off since it's bulky.

You got that right. I'm surprised this question hasn't been asked before.

I decided on this one. It is the BAKFlip MX4. I can state the person in the video of installation from the company must have installed about 100 of them and could do the job with his eyes closed. It took a great amount of time and several "adjustments" to get it to fit. Now all I have to do is wait for some rain and see just how much it is going to leak.

I went with the extang solid fold 2.0 (ford branded one) big fan so far and when I need the whole bed I just take it off.

Is is it completely water proof? No. However, it keeps it dry enough for what I need.
