Question re blackout blinds/shades

I made drapes with blackout lining for our bedroom a few years ago but they ended up being so heavy they eventually bent the rods. I'm actually tired of the pattern as well and the room never came together as I had anticipated.

Now, I am thinking of getting blackout cellulars or romans. How well do these block the light? I have eastern exposure and get a strong morning sun but I like the room to be as dark as possible. I will also most likely be purchasing ready-made panels (lighter fabric!) to cover that little gap on the sides that blinds don't cover. I've seen some that are day/night--combo of light filtering and blackout...does anyone have these?

So, how do you like your blackouts? Should I get cellulars or romans? Thanks for any info!
