I need to buy materials to cover the Bearhawk, but I dont really understand the differences between the different systems.

The main two I am thinking about are Ceconite and Polyfibre. Respectively, because I have been told it was easy by several guys (comes highly recommended), and because most Bearhawks seem to use Polyfibre, also with good effect.

I am also aware other brands like Dacron, Stits etc. exist, but again, I dont know anything about them.

Can someone explain the differences or point me to some reading etc. please?

P.s. Being on the edge of the world I can't just walk into my local and pick up a book or covering manuals to compare. So please don't suggest that!
