I've got the Skoda ones which are Thule racks. I have the Thule 591 racks (which I kept when I traded in my XV for the Octavia). Easiest bike racks I've used - had Thule Outride 561 (which I chose as part of the deal I got when I bought the XV in 2014) and they were hopeless with the MTB. I have a 2010 Specialized Pitch which weighs about 12kgs - I wouldn't want to go to a much heavierbike than that on the roof.

I had a towbar mounted rack on my 2005 Forester and it was straight forward and easy to use - but I don't ride all that often anymore due to work and uni. If I do ride, it's around here on some of the tracks near home so I don't carry the bike anywhere for those rides so the towbar was of no use to me. Until I decide to buy another sailing dinghy...
