I've got a Retrax Pro along with a Yakima overhaul HD rack. I love my setup. I installed them the night I picked up my truck. 13k miles and about 10 months later I'm still happy with it. I didn't love the idea of losing some bed space. But the retractable has worked out well. I've also used my rack a bunch and I've pretty much decided I'll have one on every truck from now on lol. If you want a rack the flip up covers like the bak flip won't work. Honestly though the retractable covers are just easier if you get in your bed very often. Having to flip those panels every time gets kind of old. I also rigged my Retrax to lock and unlock with the truck locks. So every time I lock the truck the cover also locks.
I had a Decked in my last truck for years. They are kind of cool, But they have lots of drawbacks. They are pretty limited in space. The back 1/3 of the drawers are hard to access. The drawers are good size, But often times stuff just doesn't fit. There were times I'd load certain tools or a chainsaw in my truck and they wouldn't fit, even with the drawer empty. This leaves you strapping it on top of the decked. So now not only is it not covered or locked. It's also poking up above the truck rails basically advertising to everyone it's back there. When we would take trips to the lake or something coolers and gear had to go on top of the decked. Which also stuck up way above the truck rails. And stuff is harder to load because once it's on the tailgate you then have to get in the truck and lift it up on top of the deck. Forget about any luggage going in the bed also with a decked. About the only thing that will fit in a drawer is a back pack. A pretty small one at that.
