It boils down to what your carrying to keep dry. If you want to carry larger items, then the tonneau will be in the way, the fiberglass campertop/canopy will allow larger items, but will not have the same coolness factor, but will allow much more dry storage. If you will tow a trailer for larger items, then the tonneau is the way to go. If the "canopy" is the type that is only the height of the bed, then it is designed to be less permanent.

I have a little trailer I built last summer to carry bulky stuff, and can haul bigger ones with my jeep, so im leaning towards the tonneau, plus storing the tonneau beats storing a canopy! Lol
