I prefer UWS. They are sharp looking and VERY well build. RKI (Rawson Koenig) also make good ones.

Weatherguard

At our shop and from my own personnal experience I have found weatherguard to be the best hands down. Good seals, great quality and superior latches. The ones on our work trucks get open and closed up to 20 times per day and have not missed a beat. Can find at most Tractor Supply stores.

JoBox is the best brand we've used.

Weather Guard by Knaack mfg. Sits below the bed rail. Best I've had so far.

I agree with rbrettctd bout the uws. I have a low profile black uws on mine and its great. I've had it 4 almost 2 years and it still looks good, hasn't leaked once, and is sturdy as hell.

Weathergaurd hands down, i have had mine for 5 years now and i'm in it all the time and has never gave me a bit of problem, a little pricey but you get what you pay for, and i also have never had any kind of weather ever affect the contents! Good box!

Top of the line are Weatherguard and RKI (Rawson-Koenig) but they are expensive. UWS is very popular and are OK for most people. But, no question about it, Weatherguard and RKI are much more heavy duty.

Weather gaurd has been an awesome truck box. Quality build, but expensive. After owning a few of the less expensive brands I'll never go back.

WEathergaurd is definitely worth the money if you are in and out of your box multiple times a day. I have trashed deltas, husky, numerous UWS and better built boxes. They all crack at the welds and the latches end up turning to junk.

I have a wide weathergaurd in the black and its the best truck box ive ever owned....you can shut it and it will latch both sides tightly with little effort...everytime
