For your 2008 Subaru Legacy Sedan the most cost-effective roof rack that is also going to be reliable is from Rhino-Rack using the following parts:
# INB127
# INSUT
# INK788
The only option that is cheaper is only a semi-custom fit so it does not offer the best fit for the vehicle.
For ski carriers that will fit the Rhino-Rack roof rack you have some options. For 6 pairs of skis or 4 snowboards you can use # RR576. For 4 pairs of skis or 2 boards you can use # RR574. For 3 pairs of skis or 2 boards you can use # RR573. And for 2 pairs of skis you can use # RR572. Take a look at the video I have linked going of the features of this line of ski carriers.
