Expert Reply:
Between all of the bike racks you mentioned I'd prefer the Yakima Fullback part # Y02634. The Fullbak is considered to be on the higher end of the trunk rack quality/feature spectrum yet they aren't that crazy expensive so the value for these two racks over the Saris Bones # SA801BL and especially Thule Gateway # TH88VR makes it the obvious choice.
If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
