This is what I put on my '14 Ram short bed. It was easy to install stays nice and tight and easily rolls up out of the way if you need to use the full bed for tall objects. I found the best deal on Amazon.

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..
I am very happy with the Lund roll up cover, the braces are right in the cover, they also offer a tri-fold but that would not work for me . I have the roll up on 2 of my trucks, one has been on the for over 450,000 miles since 2006 with no problems. $300.00 at Summit.

Is there any concern or worry about them sagging from snow or is that a thing from the past?
http://www.americantonneaucompany.com/I have one of these. Very pleased with it. Still looks new after 2 years.
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.
