[Paddlewise] Roof Racks

    I can see this starting something possibly but would like opinions on roof racks for carrying a sea kayak. 
    I have a 1996 Ford Taurus sedan and need to get a roof rack. Had lots of recommendations for both Thule & Yakima, and I would like to know who has these racks or others and what your suggestions would be to best carry my kayak. I know the Thule has a nice set of cradles for carrying boats and has the outrigger bar to help assist when loading on and off if you don't have someone to help you. I have also seen the Yakima TLC cradles and Hulley Rollers (and their new SweetRoll (the combination of the two)).
    Does anyone from the group have any recommendations on which rack they have if these or others, or would it be better to get a trailer?
    I know if I had a folding I would just be able to put it in the truck, but mine is plastic and I gotta carry it outside.
    Thanks in advance

John
