Default Suggestions/Recommendations on a tonneau cover

I've sold my quad so am thinking of putting a tonneau cover on my '15 Toyota Tundra double cab (6.5' bed with rails). I've never owned one, but like the idea of it over a hard top canopy mostly for ease of removal, cost, etc...

What are some good ones? Pros and cons of one style over another (ie: tri-fold vs. 1 pc. w/hydraulic lift vs. soft roll up style)?

Seems to be a lot of different ones out there, and a wide price range on them. I'm thinking the clamp on might be the way to go so I don't have to drill my bed or rail. Looking for any suggestions or recommendations on what to look for and what to avoid, also what I can expect to pay approximately.

Thanks in advance,
ILBR

Truxedo Roll up. Very durable, rolls all the the way to the front of the box. Doesn’t block the back window when opened. I tried the roll up from Costco and was dissatisfied. Pay a little more for the Truxedo, $600ish.

I wouldn't recommend the Toyota branded tri-fold that the dealers push.. It's a leaky piece of junk. I wish I'd made them take it off my 2016 as part of the deal.

Love my soft top roll up. Second truck with one on it. No worries about freezing closed in the winter after washing. Can be removed or reinstalled in 10 mins or less if needed. Can also use the whole bed of the truck when needed, just roll it up.

Tuxedo roll up is what I went with and im happy.
I ordered it online and installed it myself in about 20 minutes very easy. Google tonneau covers canada and a few sites come up with free shipping.
