Second Thule, as far as I can see most makers rebadge their racks for their own brand roof racks.
Good quality, seem to withstand loading well beyond the recommended limits the car makers set for the cars (ahem).
Try ebay, most racks don't actually get much use so generally a good buy.
I bought a Halfords rack this way for my Audi and that also turned out to be a Thule...don't know if that still be the case these days.

I use a £20 Halfords budget roof rack on my saloon, and its fine.  It dosn't mark the paintwork and I've strapped alsorts to it including my long 3 section ladder with no problems. :y :y :y
