Trek Armor for sure. To be honest I would go with them or marathon. I have used the cheap ones and like everything else they don't hold up.

Default Question about Marathon

Do the Marathons get hot out in the sun or do they stay cool like Trek Armor?

So Coverking's neoprene were not mentioned. Are they a bunch of suck? If they are that stinks b/c they are less than 200$ for a full set of seat covers for a 4 door on quadratec.

You don't hear much about these because they are outrageously expensive (think closer to a thousand than a hundred). I have a friend who has them and they are a perfect match for the Jeep interior--not some fancy, smooth fabric, but rather a casual looking, rough finish--rather like your favorite pair of jeans. I will get these after having two sets of Wet Okolie neoprene covers in the last six years of owning my JK. I'm tired of the fade and quick wear through, and smelling of swamp ass ...

Coverkings suck. I've had mine for about 2 months and they're already faded to shit. Save your money for something better.

Another vote for trek armor. I love the storage options using Molly gear. They are not hot and have a three year warranty for fading I believe. Have had mine for a summer and look brand new even being topless the last 4 months.
