I vote for neither!!!  Too expensive and boats slide on the plastic
coated bars like they were teflon-coated.  Google Quik N Easy roof
brackets.  made of cast aluminum and you get to choose which type of
bar you want ie wood metal or whatever.  QNE also makes a pipe bar
for those not wanting to be creative, but it adds to the cost and
shipping long bars ain't cheap these days.  Try  Northwest River
Supply and see if they still sell them.  Maybe Ebay??  Used is
another option of course.  Pmail me and I'll send you a photo of my
bomb proof roof rack system using 8 of the clamps instead of 4.

Good luck.
