Default Window Visors - Few Questions

For those of you that have or have had window visors (the little visors that go on the side windows) I have a few questions:

1. Which do you prefer, tape or in-channel? I think I would prefer the in-channel ones.
2. Any recommended brands to get/stay away from?

My friend has I think a pair of in-channel Auto Ventshades on his 96 Dodge Ram and I love how they look, and they are very useful to have. I've checked a few places out online and the average price I should be looking at is around $40-50 for the two side window visors.

I've always gotten the AVS 3M tape ones for my trucks,and they have heldup well in this ND weather.

AVS = Auto Ventshades right?

Mine has had tape ones on since before I got the truck and I like them. I'm not positive on the brand of them but they seem to be pretty nice.

Ironic, I was just in the 3rd generation forums talking about these. Anyways, just my preferance, I don't care for window visors. Just looks like clutter to me. They look tacky to me, and contradict with the contour of the vehicle. Some trucks pull them off OK, but I could do without the excess clutter hanging off the truck.

I like mine but I think you feel the way about them I do about fender flares.

However I like mine because I can crack my window open in the rain and not get wet. Thats imo why I like them.

Get the In-channel ones.
While the Stick-on ones have worked great
on my Ram I have had to replace the tape
on my Dakota and Taurus a couple of times
with the Stick in ones. Plus, the n-channel looks cleaner.

Thanks for the input guys. I think I am going to look into the in-channel ones and snag a pair soon.

Thanks to dhvaughan for recommending svcustoms.com. I ordered the auto ventshades in channel visors 3am on 5/11 and they came to while I was at work, got home at 1pm and they were there (5/13). I'm going to install them today and check em out.

SVCustoms is the way to go

EDIT: Says to let them cure for 24 hours, so I'm gotta wait a few days before I can let the truck sit for that time.
