PLEASE... Help here with car carriers for a bicycle with fenders.

I have done tons of research and called tons of places and still not 100% sure with what I want to go with for a bicycle carrier. So here I am asking for good opinions and what to do.

Heres what I have:

2012 Volkswagen Jetta SPORTWAGEN (station wagon) with the OEM cross bars.

1 Papillionaire classic mens bicycle
1 Papillionaire sommer female bicycle

First off trying to decide between a hitch carrier or a roof rack must just be all personal preference. I already have the crossbars so I figured I would go with the roof rack style. I know to be careful not to run your car under things too low when the bikes are on. Im also wondering how the fenders on the bicycles will be when in the wind on a highway? They are metal fenders.

So far, the types I've looked at are as follows:

Yakima Raptor Aero
Thule Big Mouth
OEM Volkswagen racks 6Q0-071-128-A

Looking for any recommendations or opinions... Need to pick something soon, im sick of looking! haha

THANKS!
