The Saab x-members are made by Thule, and are reasonably priced. It seems the Thule/Yakima components are seldom discounted at retailers anyway. Go for the Saab x-members.
I use the Saab bars with a Yakima SpaceCase, one of the largest boxes made. The only downside is that the case keeps the rear hatch from opening fully. I usually place a towel over the hatch so it doesn't get scratched. But the SpaceCase holds a ton of stuff. We were able to downsize from a minivan to the 9-5 wagon because we're able to use the SpaceCase for weekends and vacations.
One thought on the bags is that if they come in contact with the roof you may get abrasion on the paint. I have not used one before, perhaps others may shed some light.
