Not to start a Thule versus Yakima fight, but I've always wondered if Yakima round bars allow accessories like the saddles or rollers roll on the bar. It seemed to me that this would be a problem. Can you mix Thule bars and Hully Rollers? In my perfect world I want Yakima Q-towers with Thule square bars sporting Mako Saddles forward and Hully rollers aft for my Honda CRV :-) The Q-towers seem more sturdy and spread the load at the contact point a little better than the Thule towers, the square bar intuitively doesn't allow the saddles to roll on the bar when you slide the kayak up there, and the Rollers and Makos seem to be the most useful saddles for my needs.
