They all look pretty similar now and have smooth tops.
I have the HD and it's 15 months old now and working out great.
The G2 and HD are about the same now, both aluminum, but the HD is a 2 year warranty instead of 1 year for the G2. The G2 used to have plastic panels. The new F1 is fiberglass reinforced polymer so it stays cooler to the touch in the summer (aluminum can get hot!), and it's stronger too/more dent resistant especially if it hails alot in your area.
If you're looking for a great online dealer to buy from at a great price, just email me directly through my profile for the info.

I just bought the G2 for my 2010 F150 and had the older G2 on my 2007 F150. Here's a link to mine with lots of pictures and a video if you're interested..

I just got my F1 a couple of days ago. I love it. Got it installed in about 30-45 minutes and that was taking my time. Didn't get a chance to install the drain tubes before it started raining. About 30 seconds after I finished it started pouring. Even without the drain tubes I had a very minimal amount of water inside of the bed. I have since installed the drain tubes and I'm waiting for the next South Florida rainstorm. Here's a couple of pics.

looks good Ryan, congrats on the new cover.
Like I always report, I don't get any leaks my HD cover (it's going on 16 months old). Here's a few pics after my truck sat outside recently in some heavy downpours, not a drip:

What length bungee cords
I just received my HD for my SCab 6.5" bed. What length bungee cord does everyone suggest for securing the open panels in different increments? I was thinking 3 or 4 feet?
