I haven't yet found the perfect solution. I don't have a garage so my car is outside but off the street all the time.
Some are great for non scratch, lightweight easy to get on and off but are not waterproof and provide little to know protection from sticks etc blown off trees onto your car. Others are thicker and provide better protection but are very heavy and take up a lot of space.
I currently have three. One is a custom fit lightweight one from eBay in Germany, which provides reasonable protection from sun, dust and bird droppings etc but is not water proof has no ding protection and tends to blow off if very windy. It was quite cheap, about $100. This is my everyday on and off car for fine weather.
One is custom fit from this material
It is good at overall protection but what I find is that it builds up dirt and dust in the fabric and then when it rains heavily this goes through onto the car and the leaves the car covered in dirty streaks. So to stop that I have a cheap nylon non custom cover I keep inside it as a liner which does pretty well preventing that. I use this one if I am expecting bad weather and if I am going to be away for the week I actually put all three on.

I have a lot of experience with car covers and I have at least a dozen from cars I have had or have over the years that I ended up not using. I have a BMW Future car cover for my 650 that is among the best I have ever used, it fits like a glove and allows very little to get through. I used them for one reason some of my cars have to sit outside and some of the trees on my property seems to have a lot of sap 2/3's of the year. I have a noah cover for the Panamera that I no longer have, was not that bad fit pretty nicely. The OEM cover for my Abarth was $120 and works pretty well. Now the bad stuff about covers, one make sure you are not dressed up (if it just rained or has been on the car for a while. They tend to stay wet awhile and bugs love to hang out on them. They are hard to get back into the bags they give you once they have been on the car for awhile. None of them are perfect protection, but the OEM cover from the pictures appears to be pretty form fitting which I have found to be a good thing. If you really want good protection the best idea would probably be like the above post, the OEM form fitting cover and then a heavier more padded one on top of it. I would probably not have the patience for that but it would be the best bet.

From their web-site it also says:
Emblem pack
The Prestige + car cover allows you to add a variety of customisable logos from your own personal insignia, a team badge or the cars marque. Our in-house graphics team can create logos in many formats. This includes heat pressed single coloured or full coloured logos and intricate embroidery.
Here ar a few pics of mine:

I have had a Covercraft Noah cover on my XK for the past year. It has done a great job in rain or snow. I don't need to wash the car as often, and it will pay for itself in car washes over time. The elastic is holding up ok, but i do think it will probably only last 2 - 3 years. All covers have the potential to scratch the paint if the wind is blowing and any grit is under the cover. You should use a car duster before putting the cover on. It is very large and bulky, and while I can squeeze it into my washing machine, it really needs to be washed in a commercial washer. If you don't wash the cover occasionally, any dirt and grime will eventually make it onto your car. I think I paid around $179.
