Question: Pop-Up vs Hard-side TC's (firsthand experience?)

Was looking at a pop-up with a family member. Both of us bumped our heads on the door coming in. Not a show-stopper, but showed we are not used to them. My concern here in Texas is mold/mildew with the plastic.

I think I'm going to go for a HS if I go for a TC, mainly because for a good chunk of the year, the TC will be dropped onto a campsite for a renaissance faire, so the fewer things that can go wrong, the better.
