PowerFilm Rollable VS Foldable

I'm pretty much set on the PowerFilm product line but want to make an educated decision on the foldable (F16-3600) versus the rollable (would be two R28's). The purpose and intent is dual....both backpacking trips and vehicle camping trips and outings. While the rollable are attractive for their waterproofing, this really isn't intended for waterborne use. Thoughts?
 
Hmm hope I didn't ask some sort of fopaux question on the PowerFilm but after discussing this with a friend, who spends significant time in extremely secluded areas, recommended I go with at least a 60W foldable seeing the amount of sun accumulated in overcast rainy type enviroments will be minimal at best. It also reduces the connections scenerio to one.
 
:sombrero: No backpacking, but I've used the Crystalline 60w solar panel/controller for over 5 years and she still operates--PRIMO-

Just moveit every couple hours and it provides 13.5vdc and over 2 amps --charging current

There are a bunch of different mfgs now-so pick and choose-

Good luck

I have the Powerfilm foldable 60 watt one.
probably more durable than a roller.
