Topper (solid) or Cap ?
My DW prefers the Truck cap, I favor a solid Tonneau because it looks cool! I have my own ideas about some of the pros and cons. Apart from the extra load carry height and any fuel economy 'savings...

It really depends on what YOU will be carrying in the truck bed.
I've had both; my previous truck was a short bed with a cab-height shell. I loved it.
My current truck is a long bed with a hard one piece tonneau (with electric lock tied in to the doors), and I pretty much hate it.
My generator barely fits under the tonneau, which is fine, but I'm on my hands/knees to get anything from the front of the bed, can't carry anything taller than the bed sides without removing the cover or hauling it on a trailer, it's generally a pain in the butt. It looks nice though.
I'm keeping an eye out for a good deal on a shell and selling this tonneau because it is what I need. I will say that the electric lock on it is a must have!
