For your 2016 Chevrolet Malibu Limited, I recommend the Thule WingBar Roof Rack, which consists of parts # TH711420, # TH710501 and # TH145103. The aerodynamic design on these 53 inch crossbars will produce one of the quietest roof racks on the market and provide a weight capacity of 165 pounds. As you mentioned in your question, Thule is a top-of-the-line manufacturer of roof racks and accessories and they are well known for the durability and precise fit of their products.

The Thule ProRide XT Roof Bike Rack # TH598004 you also referenced features t-track hardware that will install directly into the channels on top of the AeroBlade roof crossbars. This carrier will work great for transporting 1 bike of up to 44 pounds.
