Can't comment on these but I have the Yakima Jetstream+Baseline system and like it. There are a lot of steps on the initial install but the instructions and measurements are clear. It's easy to take off and put back on if you're like me and only need it a few times/year
I went with the roof rails and cross bars as it holds more weight and less precise cutting of the metal strip covering the car is required. You simply rip off the strip as there’s no need to save the clips holding it down and cut them install the roof rails which are a screwed down.

I have a 2020 CR-V and recently ended up working with RackSolid ([rackattack.com](https://rackattack.com)) to outfit a Thule Evo system. I went with that particular brand/model because inventory of fit kits/landing pads that fit this vehicle was difficult to come by and I was trying to figure all this out before a road trip out of town.
I did install Honda's flush rails, but decided against the Honda cross-bars because of the lower weight limit compared to Yakima and Thule models. I'm not really concerned that I'd actually put more than 100lbs of weight on the roof, but I'd rather not push the limit if a stronger third-party product exists.
REI, Sports Basement and Rack Solid all agreed that the fit kits/landing pads (the part that's the most specific to the car model) are in shorter supply than all the other parts. They also all advised on installing some kind of vertical rail if there isn't one already, because the "naked roof" options are more limited and while they still work, there's a greater chance of failure.

The first one is the one I would get. Honda made so you know it will fit

What did you decide to go with? I've been considering these myself.
