Bikes: Bike list is not a resume. Nobody cares.

I highly recommend the Sportrider 4, WestWA. I have an older Sportrider 3 that has done numerous trips to Whistler, Fernie, Sun Peaks, Stevens Pass, Port Angeles...you name it, besides local weekly duty. The newer Sportriders have some improvements over mine that look like they only make them better, like the lock-down levers on the frame hooks. (BTW, I prefer frame hooks over wheel hooks).
What sells me on the Hollywood racks is METAL - - metal wheel trays, metal hardware - - the two big brands have so much damn plastic that, when they get older and sun-weathered all that plastic is going to start breaking down. If the wheel tray hoops on the Hollywood get damaged (mine got swiped in a parking lot once), you can repair/bend/re-weld things to fix it - - instead of buying expensive plastic replacement parts. I've had mine for several years (8? 10? can't recall) and it's still going strong.
Here's mine, loaded and ready for a Whistler trip:
