Default Car canopy or Car cover?

I am debating whether to get a good car cover or one of those portable car canopies. Right now all i have is a cheap car cover that i have been using. My car is always outside so i need to decide soon which to get.

What do you think?

And if you have any ideas where to get a canopy and which would be the best cover to use?

Canopy is better IMO, I don't like covers for the condensation factor during extreme temp. changes

Ok thanks i was thinking that too, i just dont know where i should get one from. Most of them are around $300 and then shipping for a 10x20 canopy.
If anyone knows of a good place to get a canopy from please post it. Thanks

I have a 10ft canopy. Put each leg in a 5 gal bucet of cement and used rebar studs to hold the straps down. Great alternative to the garage if you dont have one.
