Not sure if by "caps' you mean soft or hardcover. I went with the Truxedo low profile model. I thought about a fiberglass cap, but I use the entire bed too frequently. With the soft cover, you simply roll it up and secure it. Access makes a similar model. If you go with a soft cover, I recommend against any style that uses snaps to secure the cover to the rails. Also, if you are in an area of the country that has serious seasonal temperature changes, go with a model that has simple tension spring adjustments.

I got a Truxedo soft cover as well. I think the hard top probably looks better, but I decided that when I want to throw something big in the back, the cap would be a pain to take on and off (my brother in law has a hard cap and it's easy enough to do, but takes two guys to do it). His is the AER and he's happy with it. Works well, locks good and the struts still keep it up and you can get an exact match on the paint.

Having decided on the soft top, I did more research on it than the hard top, and ended up with Truxedo. Got it at TruckXpressions (a sponsor) for the best price,no shipping and choice of colors. It definately is not the cheapest, but if you do go that way, I agree with Rak that it's got the features you want. It just comes down to how you use your bed.
