GFCI cover

I say 525 is most applicable to this as 590 is for temporary installations most associated with construction, demolition and emergency shelter needs. So, if you agree with that, would the "bubble", in-use covers be required? Keeping in mind 2008 NEC
Now that we have an idea as to where and what is served I will go with Article 518 as a specific referencing 590

518.3 Other Articles.

(A) Hazardous (Classified) Areas. Electrical installations in hazardous (classified) areas located in assembly occupancies shall comply with Article 500.

(B) Temporary Wiring. In exhibition halls used for display booths, as in trade shows, the temporary wiring shall be permitted to be installed in accordance with Article 590. Flexible cables and cords approved for hard or extra-hard usage shall be permitted to be laid on floors where protected from contact by the general public. The ground-fault circuit-interrupter requirements of 590.6 shall not apply. All other ground-fault circuit-interrupter requirements of this Code shall apply.
