car roof racks

Hello Paddlers,
I'm in the search for new boat-carriers. We're talking about a car with fixpoints, 1 screw per fixpoint.
I want the bars wide enough (1.60m) so I can load 2 boats next to each other.
Now I don't really know what to take:
- thule, but I don't really like the fix-point kit, It looks fragile to me
- zoelzer (german), doesn't allow wide bars on their own system, do combine with thule feet though
- van-roofbars.co.uk, seems nice, but I can't choose the bar length, and there is no anti-slip on top of the bars
- ... .
Any suggestions, brands I forgot about, or confirmation about the thule system? I can't find decent reviews on the system ยต
Thanks,
J.
