I'll tell you, I can't recommend anything other than if you had the quick clips. First couple uses I wasn't fond of it. Dealer told me the trick to popping clips and I would never go back. Maybe look at having clips installed in yours, or getting a new one with clips. It still snaps around the bow, but it's easy peazy around sides and stern.
Welcome to the forum! This type of question comes up several times a year. You'll be able to find multiple threads on the thoughts of people. As everything goes,it will come down to your preference,
We have both the full mooring cover and individual seat covers. When we come in late at night and there's no rain in the forecast,I throw the individual covers on seats and helm. This saves me 10 min..Others just drape the full cover and don't snap or clip .
And I see Semp beat me to the punch,he couldn't resist the misspell.
Posted before but for those nights I don't want to cover but want to protect my electronics; I bought this truck bed cover at Home Depot. Comes with the elastic cords with clips so you can secure it pretty tight without worrying it will blow off

Take your thumb and forefinger and grasp the edge of the plastic near the rivet (to the left or right end) and pull down so it's pulling at the corner of the clip. Don't grab the middle and pull down. Just toward the end. Make sure the poles are removed so the tension is released from the top. I can pop the clips as quick as I can grab them. I can't believe how easy it is compared to the first times I tried it by pulling on middle and trying to unhook them.
I'll try to remember to do a video tomorrow and post it for the new owners.
