Need some advice RE: Topper vs cage/decked/softopper

I recently picked up a new, gen 3, 2020 Tundra, SR5 w/ TRD package, in Cement Grey and was planning on going with a hard topper. But now that I have experienced the glory that is a rear window rolled down I've begun looking at alternatives that allow me to have that window open.

So I am looking at a Decked System with a bed rack and soft topper...

Some background:

• I am a builder who runs jobs more than anything but will still roll with a set of hand tools and a couple drills. Occasionally, I will throw in my collection of M18 cordless crap. I don't plan on keeping any of that in the truck overnight.
• I also occasionally need to pick up lumber, sheets of OSB or Drywall so will be using the rack.
• I only go 4 wheeling to get to nice campsites. I'm not a rock crawler. But we are a family of 4 and roll with a ton of shit. Yes, I get my balls busted with the amount of crap I carry but I've years under my belt of: "Lets go canyoneering for 3 days in Utah with a bivy, sleeping bag, water filter and some power bars!" and "Hey, there's a huge storm hitting the Cascades tomorrow night. Let's leave the tents at home and go build a snow shelter and stay a couple days!". So now I glamp, and I love it.
• Not doing a roof top tent, they are too small, not dog friendly and I am certain my wife will break her leg on the ladder.
• I will eventually throw a platform on the rack.

My concerns:

• Our neighborhood attracts car hoppers (and car thieves, this very Tundra was purchased because my Silverado was stolen about a month ago along with another Silverado that night) I am concerned the Decked System will be relentlessly fucked with. Especially the ammo boxes. I am not as concerned about the drawers unless they try to take the whole thing apart.
• I'm currently looking at the Datin Metal Fab Cage Rack and a Softopper but have read you cannot fold the Softopper down with that rack. I will want the topper occasionally when I need to pickup material/fixtures or go camping but don't think that will be often. Weekends mostly. I am not sure how I will feel about the remove/re-install situation for that topper.

I guess what I'm looking for is some advice from those that have gone with the decked system on an open bed truck. Is your bed ever messed with? If so, how do they mess with it? Anyone ever try to take the entire system? If it was messed with how hard was it to get it fixed? Or were you able to fix it at all?

And those with a softopper that they remove and re-install on occasion. How much does it suck?

And those who have done what I'm trying to do. How'd it go?

I may (will probably) cross post this elsewhere on this site. I'm really struggling with this decision.

Thanks all, I look forward to reading what you have to say.
