Default good universal power door lock?

I just got a Tonneau cover yesterday and I want to make it power lock/unlock. It currently has the standard cylinder style key locks (one on each rear corner). My plan is to remove these (plug/cover the holes with something) and then use either one or two door lock actuators to move some locking pins. This would be wired in with the driver's side door lock actuator thus allowing me to lock/unlock the system with my keyless remote/alarm (doors locked = bed locked....doors unlocked = bed unlocked).

My question is where do I come up with a really good quality (reliable) lock actuator?

thanks but I'm looking for the actuator, not a kit..... and I'm trying to make sure I get THE BEST quality actuator I can get (don't want to get locked out of my bed)

I'm just concerned that PERHAPS there a better quality/reliable actuators than the $10 units I see listed in kits/retrofits. I have thought about getting a factory silverado unit (about $50) but if don't want to throw money away if people have had good luck with the aftermarket versions.
