Does anyone think that either of these Gutter Covers will work?

These are in the Clearance section - maybe there's a reason?

Any concerns that they are installed under the first layer of shingles?

I don't know how well these would work with heavy rains. I have simple
gutters guards I bought at HD about five years ago. One gutter is
underneath a maple tree which dumps lots of seeds and another is underneath
an oak tree. Only had one clog in 5 years. These guards are just a screen
pattern of diagonal shaped holes about 3/8 wide.

I second the basic screen type guards which come in a 20 foot roll. I have
tried a few different types before going to the screen and they are working
the best. BTW, I also have maple trees. One in the front yard and one in the
back. Let me add, they are huge and that produces a lot of seeds and debris.
SO far so good with lack of clutter.

I too have maples and was always concerned that the seeds would just
get caught in the screens and have to be cleaned out anyway. Is this
not the case?

Not as of yet and it's been two years they've been on. It could be related
to the angle I have them set, but either way, nothing thus far.
