Rack suggestions please

I haven't looked in a long time and now there are so many different racks to choose from. I just don't know what is best these days.

I am wondering if you all can give me some recommendations for my 96 Infiniti. I want a top rack that is lasting, has some options and is reasonable in price. Don't want to pay for the name. I'd like a rack that can be used for bikes as well as other stuff.

I did mean to add that security is a big concern. I travel a bit and now and then I would need to leave the bike on the rack so it would need to be as secure as possible.

Yakima, you get what you pay for.

Well it is only for bikes and it is trunk mounted, bumper supported, but the Saris Bones is THE BEST.

I'm partial to Tubus racks myself. http://www.tubus.net/eng/index.php

I bought a Yakima Mighty Joe 3, which was recalled after owning it for 3 months. Now I have a Saris Bones 3. It is little pricey compared to others, but I think it is the best. I'd recommend it. Read about it here:

I've been very pleased with Thule's roof mounted system - the Velo Vise tray for the bike is easy to use and holds the bike very tight - I've been disappointed with Thule's aluminum light weight individual wheel holder fork - I think it's called the "wheel on" - that also mounts to the load bars - instead I put the front wheel(s) in a Cordura wheel bag that I got mail order from Excel in Colorado and carry it either in the trunk or back seat; and Thule sells small cylinder locks for the Velo Vise and the load bars - they're not foolproof for determined thieves but are better than nothing.
