I'm also in the market for a 2 bike hitch.
A fork mount is the way to go...for me, the only way. I used a fork mount on a top tray for years. The fork takes very little abuse. The DraftMaster appears to be a 'master piece' in IMO...but it is $600 bucks. But if you are are bent or tandem rider, likely the best rack out there. Merlin is a very knowledgable guy and endorses that rack and looking at the design I agree. For my purposes, a transverse fork mount...two trays front and back of one another mounted to a hitch rack is the way to go. Hollywood has a good following for hitch mounts and I went to their site. They are working on a receiver hitch fork mount rack per their site pictures. They used to sell one called the Sport Rider. Most again conflate easy of on and off the rack with the best rack. Not me...I care about the bike and its movement on the car/truck when in transit.
