Default Car covers?

I have been doing some research on car covers. It seems that California Car Covers is a pretty good brand. They just have so many to choose from. I was just wanting some suggestions on which one would be best. The car sits in the garage 99% of the time, and usually sits for a while in between drives if that makes a difference. Thanks for your time.

I used Wolfe covers in the past on both the Vette and SS, great quality, good for indoors and outdoors.
Currently using a 29.95 cover I got off e-bay for the SS as it is garaged except when driving. Works fine for inside protection, see no need to speed $200 plus for an cover that is to be used only inside a garage.

California Car Covers site used to have a place where you could answer some questions and that would direct you to the cover that works for you. Not sure if its still on there. Mine stays covered in the garage. I bought the Stormweave just in case it had to sit outside.

On my old '00 Z I used a SLP car cover, and on my W I use the stock SLP one that came with dad's Firehawk. Both were covered in the garage though.
