Either company can provide the durability you're looking for. Take a close look at how they're mounted to the car - and make sure you prep the surface really well!

weathertech install inside the windows channel while avs is tapped on the windows frame.

I used both type on different cars. Weathertech gives a better look BUT it may affect your windows auto up/down feature. When you do auto up, the window might go down right away thinking there is something stuck on the top.

AVS mounted outside, works great but doesn't look as good. I had it on my 97 Camry since day one, it did show a little gap after that many years.

The visors in those pictures look like they are mounted on top of the outside parts of the doors. So, are they the AVS ones? Would like to see the weathertech ones to compare the differences and cleanliness of the two. But thanks for posting up the pics.
