I ended up with the Ranch lid. I was originally going to go with something that was easier to remove, but someone I trust told me that if I wanted something that would actually last for a while and still look good in a few years, go with the Ranch. I've been pleased. There has not been a single time in a year where I've needed to remove it. Plus, and this sounds selfish, but I have a good excuse to turn down requests from folks to use the truck to move big items!
