So, I was in the same boat, and after a lot of research, I discovered that most of these Roof Top Tents (RTT) are made in the same factory in china which is why I went with this one to save a some money for about the same quality.
As far as quality goes, I went over every inch of this tent when I first opened it, and besides some metal shavings leftover from the factory, there were no issues besides the mattress being a little thin for a side sleeper like me.
For us, the RTT makes sense since we are going to be going on long road trips (eastern NE to Olympic National Forest in WA being one of them), where, for the majority of the trip, we aren't going to be spending more than one night at each stop. This allows us to set up/tear down in a couple of minutes, whereas with a regular tent or hammock, it takes a bit more time. So the convenience factor plays a pretty large part. And when we do get to our spot, we can just park the truck and hike around from there.
As with most things it comes down to personal preference, and how you go camping (one location vs multiple locations).
I found this one the looks pretty good:

The tent is a Smittybilt Overlander that is mounted on two KB Voodoo Crossbars.
Although it's probably hard to see in the video, the crossbars have special brackets that allow for you to use them with a tonneau cover.
I believe this is the exact one I bought here, I bought through an actual store though, not Amazon. It is a Smittybilt
My buddy has this Smitty Built tent. Not only is it one of the cheaper ones, but it's lightweight and it's pretty comfy too. I've slept in it and it does everything I expect from a tent. https://www.amazon.com/Smittybilt-2783-Folded-Tent/dp/B00KCFKPX0

It's called Smittybilt Overlander Tent, we got it second hand from someone. It does not come with the roof rack, I bought the rack on Amazon. Its recommended that you dont have it on the stock roof rack that's built on the jeep. Tent and Roof Rack we did have to trim the roof rack down for the tent.
