Default Input needed - Rollup or Folding Sunshade?

I am about to pull the trigger on a sunshade and note there appears to be two types to choose from - rollup or folding.

Any opinions as to which is better? And any recommended brands/sources?

Thanks.

I have one of the roll-up ones, and I wish it was the folding variety that I've had with every other car. The folding one is much easier to deploy and stow, in my opinion.

All of our cars have the folding sunshades. They are easier to store, not as likely to get squashed, and take up less room.

Make you own custom fit roll up. Make a pattern from clear plastic sold at True Value for table covers and such. Use the pattern to cut a shade from Reflex, also available at True Value. I put the clear plastic over the windshield and use a Sharpie to trace the windshield outline and the location of the rearview mirror. Tape it to the Reflex and cut out to include hole and slit for rearview mirror.

I have the folding one and like it best. I think it is able to be a little stiffer (because it folds instead of rolling up) so it doesn't sag any. Also folds up nicely.
