Addison, et al...

I know this has been discussed before, but I've lost all the info I saved in
a hard drive crash (I know, back up)... I have a syncro westy and two
kayaks... one twelve footer and one fourteen.  So I need gutter mount
uprights with extensions, right?  78" or 96" refers to what?  And which is
better Yakima or Thule?  Which is cheaper?  Should I be asking Steve
Lashley?

Also, somebody was talking awhile back about mounting the racks directly
(permanently) into the fiberglass of the westy top.  Good idea, bad idea?
Rains alot here, so I'm skeptical, but would like to keep from scratching,
damaging my gutters.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  I don't mind spending a
little more to get something that will be more serviceable for a longer
period of time, but need to keep it within reason.

TIA.
