Bed cover for 2016 F150 recommendations

Hi folks,
I have 2016 F150 4x4 5.5ft bed. I'm thinking now I want to put a cover on it. Looking for recommendations.
I would like one that is easy to put on and take off, and waterproof. Will probably use it more as a SUV than a truck, but I do want the ability to take it off easily and be able to haul a refrigerator or something large. MY FIL has one of those that is a solid piece that will only open up so high, you can't haul anything tall in it. So I want to avoid that.
Any advice? I do have a spray in liner already if that matters. Would like to keep the cost between $500-$1000 if possible.

Check out the BAK Revolver X2. That's what will be going on my new truck. I have a vinyl rollup on my current truck and like it since I can roll forward and still fit atv in bed of truck.

BAKFlip HD is what I have and love it.

the Backflip MX4 is the new hotness for the F150. Its the only bakflip that you can open and close the tialgate without opening the cover.

Been thinking the same for my F150. Seems the BAKflip G2 has been getting some really great reviews.

my bakflip g2 looks good and all, it does drip leak if puddling water is just sitting.

I forgot to mention I want the ability to lock it as well, if that matters to the responses.

G2 doesn't lock per se but when you lock your tailgate, you don't have ability to open the cover.

Just put one on my 2016 F150. Love it!
Yes it locks shut w the locked tailgate.
It folds all the way back so you can haul anything. Comes all the way out too if you need it to, but I haven't had that need yet.

I don't see the HD listed on their site anymore? Does the rubber seal get caught when closing the tailgate, i had a G2 before and it got caught and bent the wrong way when closing. the mx4 has a different serrated seal with a bunch of small fins instead of one big rubber squeegee like piece. I think that the panels are a little different and stronger than the mx4 than the g2 but it's a little more $

I have a Bestop on my truck, not an f150, and its damn cool.
