I put a fiberglass hard cover and it has drawbacks but I have no regrets..
If I had to do it over I would spray the bed with LINE X first..Then a bedrug which I have now and love it...Then the tonneau of your choice..
1972 Road Runner / GTX 440 4spd Dana 3.54 Just about to turn 26K original miles..
A boat, a GMC truck, some Craftsman Tools, LOTS of Zombie Protection, and a few Goldfish..
If you love someone set them free.. If they come back it means nobody else wanted them either..!!

Is there any concern or worry about them sagging from snow or is that a thing from the past?
They have several tubular cross bars that roll up with the cover. We get 5 times the snow that you get and I have never seen a damaged one. We sell close to 100 a year.

Extang Full Tilt model. Best cover I have used, I just bought my third one of my latest daily driver. The other two I have are over ten years old, and still no issues.
Snow is not a problem, but I try to get it off as soon as I can. But I have had 18 inches of snow on them before, and no issues with the cover or braces. It does tend to strech the material until you get the weight off, then it tightens back up.
The allure for me was it tilts like a hard cover, rolls up like a soft cover, or what I do the majority of time if I need to put tall stuff in the bed, I can lift it off in one piece by myself leaving it snapped to the frame. Super Super versatile.

x-3 besides being low profile, and fully self supported, it is fully removable in about a minute. only "downside" is you must remember to close the tailgate first, before you lock the back section down. this places the weatherseal on top of the tailgate, where it belongs, instead of inside the tailgate, that will allow water inside.

X2 I never thought I would be a fan of soft tonneau covers till I put one on the GF's truck. If I ever buy a new Ram, it's getting the same.
