Car Cover options? <$100

So, I need to pick up a car cover...but I"m not spending hundreds of dollars for the ones like on mazdatrix. I've seen a few on ebay that are for our cars for under $100. Has anybody tried any of these? There are a ton of different types. I'm looking for one to be a weatherresistan/proof cover. This car will be outside in the rain/wind, etc. What covers are you guys using?

has anybody tried the fitted covers?

example:

How well do they fit? I have a little higher than normal rear spoiler and don't want to get a fitted cover if it won't fit....but i'd prefer a fitted if it will fit.
