Soft or Hard Tonneau Cover

Just bought a 2020 Tacoma TRD 4x4 Off Road. This is my second Tacoma, but the first time I am looking to purchase a tonneau cover. I admit I am clueless as to whether I should purchase a soft or a hard. I am planning several road trips and may be moving to Arizona. I haul things fairly often so I would like one that is easy to transition if I need to haul something that won't fit under the cover. Recommendations?

I have the RetraxONE MX on my 5' bed. Ive had it about 2 year now and had no problems. I live in Central Cali so its hot most of the year and my trucks in the sun for most of the day and the color of the cover is the same as day one.

I have a cheap Amazon Gator brand soft fold up cover, the soft cover keeps things 99% dry and out of sight. Some Water does get in on the cab side but not very much. The soft fold up comes all the way off in about 5 minutes, not the easiest thing but it works. The hard covers are much more pricey and a bit more secure. What I have learned about thieves, is that if they want something they are going to figure out a way to get it. soft or hard most covers can be infiltrated rather easily. Unless its like a diamondback those are much stronger but very pricey.
