Tonneau Cover Question

I ordered a Dakota a week ago and I've been lurking since then. I've
learned a bunch so far and look forward to putting some of the information
to good use once the truck arrives. My questions today deal with soft
tonneau covers. I know, the fiberglass covers last longer, look better,
cure dandruff, etc., but I'm an old fart and I really like the look and
utility of the soft versions. Does anyone on the list have any experience
with snap-style vs. snapless covers, or the Hartz cloth cover? Opinions on
which is better? Retention at highway speeds (or greater)? Ease of removal
and reinstallation for cargo clearance? Any preference for Mopar or
aftermarket? I want to install one as soon as I get the truck and get the
bed sprayed. Any help will be much appreciated. BTW, I ordered a CC, 4.7,
5-speed manual, Sport+, buckets, posi, 4-wheel antilock, and about
everything else on the option sheet except the 2000 lb payload package
(heaviest load might be a horizontal, flat-opposed, six-cylinder drive
train). Color is Flame Red/Dark Slate.

Thanks,
