I ended up going with a set of 4 yakima A towers with 78" load bars. So far I've been able to fit kayaks, mountain bikes, a rooftop tent and miscellaneous wood, etc. on the top with no problems.
I do have some con-fer feet that I'm playing around with other rack designs.
As for the "escape hatch" for me the rooftop tent is easier to deal with from the sunroof when I've got my two boats mounted on the side (see my user profile pic...) so I'd like to have at least a hatch there.
The down side of using the yakima load bars is that I loose some of the "basket" design of the Tradesman and other racks, as even a loadwarrior or like basket would be difficult to fit without adding an additional load bar. (The rooftop tent is supported by 3 bars.)
