I'm finally getting around to order some Broadart Dust Jacket protectors but I was unsure on a few options and was hoping to get some feedback/suggestions from the members here on their preferences.
The vast majority of books I'll be doing are standard HarperCollins so I was debating between 10" and 12" Just-A-Fold II for ease of use.
• From previous threads seems like most prefer to go 12" as it gives them more flexibility in the books covered, however since the majority of my books are all the same height it seems like the 10" would be fine.
• For those who prefer the 10", how much overlap do you typically end up with?
The bigger question, and one I'm hoping a member or two could provide examples to compare against is Super Clear vs Lo-Luster.
• How much glare does the glossy typically produce (say in comparison to non-covered glossy HC Dust-Jacket)?
• Just how hazy are the lo-luster, how much detail is lost?

I use the Brodart ready made pockets all the time. I mainly buy the 10” for most books. There is overlap on the standard size but I don’t find it a problem. The other two size I’ve bought but not much are the 12” and the 8”. The pictures below will hopefully show you what you need to know. The LotR is the 10”, the other two you can work out I’m sure.
As regard glare, I didn’t know there were different types of cover like that. Sure, depending on angle and light you’d get shine but I guess it would depend on how you place the books on the shelf.
