Roof Rack Cross bars - OEM or ????

[Geoffsfas10]

Since its starting to get warm out again, and I own kayaks, i need a good way to haul them. So Im looking at getting possibly the cross bars for the roof rack. So does anyone have any recommendations? Are the OEM ones good enough? Go aftermarket? I dont think i will leave them up there all the time, probably just mount em when I need them, so ease of install would be nice to have. I'd search but its broken...

I spend some coin on a Yakima rack for my Yukon XL and hated it. The towers and jet stream aero bars were way to tall. I ended up using the factory crossbars and Yakima fold-down jay hooks for a very sleek and functional setup.
