I highly recommend going with the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 75270 for your 2008 Honda Odyssey. Compared to other trailer hitch receivers, this one has the best bang for the buck. With its tongue weight capacity of 675lbs you will have no issue with using your hitch-mounted accessories to their full potential. This receiver also has a very fair price considering its capabilities.
For a cargo rack you could look into 24x60 Reese Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches # 63153 which has a 500lb weight capacity. This offers 2-1/2" of shank rise to provide extra ground clearance. Then you can add Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Hitches # 63232 to keep the carrier tight and secured to your receiver. I attached demonstration videos for you to check out.
