Which is better/worse & why?
Also, of the outdoor shelters, is the flat-top safer than the sloped?

I solved the dust and bug issue. I put a large plastic matt over it. During bad weather I pull it to the front of the garage to avoid asphyxiation. Cost of matt, $70 . Vacuum out shelter and check batteries every spring.We had the "in garage floor" style in our previous home. We liked it with two exceptions; being in the floor, it would accumulate a lot of dust, and as we got older we began to thing about the ease of getting in and out. The outdoor types would likely have the same issues.
The home already had the garage floor shelter when we purchased it.
We did the same, after the first year or so. that did pretty much solve the issue, except during the Spring when the potential need arises. I would move the cover off incase my wife needed the shelter if I was gone. So then we would get, in addition to dust blowing in, grass clippings. But, we did indeed have cause to use it a few times, and were very happy to have it.I solved the dust and bug issue. I put a large plastic matt over it.

Bagged clippings at my old house so no issue with those and most of the time kept the garage shut. This house not much grass around the driveway and in middle garage bay, we keep the garage door shut. Oh well, the biggest problem I have is if we get larger vehicles. To get in the shelter we may have to park the vehicle in the driveway to get hailed on, however if there is a tornado hail damage to a vehicle would be the least of my worries.We did the same, after the first year or so. that did pretty much solve the issue, except during the Spring when the potential need arises.
