Bike rack for tandem - recommendation?

My wife and I are about to buy a tandem bicycle. We already have a factory (i.e., Thule) rack on our 1994 900 5door. Given that tandems are LONG to say the least (7 to 8 feet long), does anyone have any recommendations for racks that are good with a hatchback?
The main choices are Yakima Sidewinder, Thule 558, ATOC TandemTopper, and Rockymounts Tandem. The Yakima appears best to me because it does not have a long tray like the others and I am concerned that a long tray may hit the hatch glass when opening it. I do not expect to be able to open the hatch regardless of mount when a bike is on it.
Thanks, Derek / 1994 900 S V6 140,900mi
