I just use a California dust cover. It came with the car, but that's what I would have bought if it hadn't.

If you don't need a weather proof cover, it's best not to use one. You don't want to restrict air flow and trap moisture against the paint, you just want to keep dust off. If you're going to leave the car out in weather some of the time, it's not a bad idea to get two covers.

I have three covers from Californiacovers.com.  I have had other brands and not found them to fit as well or last as long.  There is a good amount of information on their site about their products so you can make an educated guess about which fabric is right for your application.
