RK - I researched this when I bought bars and bike racks for my 9-5. I strongly recommend the original SAAB bars instead of the aftermarket Thule bars and feet. The bars are very well integrated with the 9-5 and you don't need to buy any locking device for them. by the time you buy the aftermarket feet, bars and locks, the cost is more then the original SAAB bars.
For the racks, I like the Thule brand. They seem more stable and better built then the Yakima. I haul three bikes on my car. Two are using the Thule 589 velo vise with the 545 wheel carrier and the other is the Thule 525 standard bike rack. The 525 rack is a little cheaper and doesn't hold the bike that sturdy at high speeds. So I recommend only the 589 velo vise.
