They do have a square bar, so you are going to have some type of wind noise and drag while you're traveling. However, you can purchase a fairing that will act as a wind deflector and kind of sweep it right over the bar to make it more aerodynamic, and cut down on that wind noise and drag.The square bars have a nice rigid system up top that's going to help keep your accessories in place and not be able to slide at all on your roof rack. more

With the Yakima, it clamps around the factory raised side rails and tightens into place using the integrated Allen key that you can carry with you while you travel.Bearing all that in mind, the easiest to install out of these three is going to be the Yakima RailBar. more
