I posed this same question and the majority of those responding said it was well worth it for them.

Skip ahead two years from our delivery date, I have no regrets. The toppers have held up nicely and still look like brand new. It's great to see the leaves, pine needles, and twigs fall off the toppers as they are retracted. They generally leave the slide toppers cooler on bright sunny days.
As far as wind noise, it's only happened once during deer hunting season as I had parked my rig against the tree line off a very large corn field. It was rainy and windy for the few days we hunted and you could hear the material flap in the wind. But I had no tree cover and no way to turn around my rig. Other than that, I've spent 60 days in the trailer in all conditions and never hear the toppers.
Carefree would be my choice of topper as that's what was installed on mine.
