It is lightweight, provides a quick and effortless installation within 30 minutes. The Truxedo helps me keep my cargo waterproof.

I think the Sentry CT has the best look with its low profile, uniform appearance, no rubber on the sides and the tailgate rubber is unobtrusive.
Rolled up you can look out the back window vs trifolds. Rolled up it still has a nice appearance (if you like black). It can be removed.
Sentry is secured via tail gate, mid latch and velcro. It may not appear as secure as some covers.
Have to close the tailgate before closing the cover.
I do not know the long term appearance as far as the slats showing through the cover material.
3 year warranty, some covers have longer warranty.

Bak Revolver release clips stick out to the inside of the bed and can create an issue if not careful putting and taking things out of the bed. Some reports about the locking system in freezing wet weather. Finish on the side rails at the tailgate seems to be lacking by some comments. The Bak may be a little more difficult to get the install right.
I do not have personal experience but have reviewed the forum posts and for my needs (carry a motorcycle) I am leaning towards purchasing a Sentry CT. Many appear happy with the various covers they have purchased.
Majority of cover brands fall under the "Truck Hero" umbrella. I believe Access does not, which produces the Lomax of which many are happy with.
