If you are looking for a rack that is going to give you the best access to the rear of your 2006 Honda Odyssey, you will want to look at swinging away racks
My personal favorite is the Apex # TH9027XT. With the rack installed you can swing it open, with the bikes loaded, for complete access to the rear hatch of the van. I have included a link to a video review of this rack for you.
If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical mens bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # TH982XT. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance. I have to use these adapters and without them my wifes bike would be at a severe angle and I would not be able to load my sons bike at all.
