The difference is as you stated, in-channel and tape on. i personally like the in channel ones that i have on my matrix (weather tech) vs the tape on ones (AVS). it is mostly a matter of preference. i didnt like the idea of "tape on" during the time. since it is only secured by tape they can be stolen easily. i had a friend that had an si with the jdm tape on visors and they ended up getting stolen.

i ordered me some seamless vent visors the other day. Its beginning to rain and i hate when i roll my windows down at starbucks and flood my interior. This should help. Also with ventilation.

I've tried to keep quite, but there is one thing people should realize . . .

There are only a VERY few manufacturers of these things world-wide. The best come from exactly TWO companies, regardless of the name or logo on them.
Arguably the best of the two is Autovent Shades (AVS). Their own branded ones are the cheapest for quality there is. Many of the other branded ones are the exact same thing, but with other logos and higher prices for the privilege.
If the vents your looking for look practically exactly like the AVS ones, there is a VERY good chance that they ARE the same thing.

(I can't state my source, but it is reliable and I'd put my own money on it happily.)

sounds good to me, i like the seamless ones, not a big fan of the in-channel ones.. tape-ons just look so much better to me

As said, mostly a question of personal preference -- I have the in-channel
