If you live somewhere where it gets REALLY cold and this is for your house attached faucet, opt for the solid ones ala https://www.homedepot.com/p/Hard-.../204759083 or the like. These soft ones work better when your siding keeps the solid from forming a tight seal, but all things equal the solid will work better for insulation purposes.
If you have a true outdoor faucet as shown in the pictures, you really should drain it and not keep it functional during winter if you can help it as the rest of the uncovered line is also exposed to the air and water CAN break galvanized water lines as the temp plumets, but I'm also in an area where it can hit the -10F range 🤷

Last winter, I wrapped the faucet with old socks with holes in them and then tied a ziplock bag around them. This is a lot prettier I suppose for only couple bucks
