Although the Thule system you referenced would work well, in my opinion the clamp system used by the Rhino Rack Roof Rack is a bit more substantial, and would get a better grip on the rain rain gutter.

You can install a Rhino Rack Roof Rack by using the following parts:

Heavy Duty Crossbars, part # RB1650B-2 for Black or # RB1650 for Silver
Gutter Mount Legs, part # RRRL150GMC

Rhino Rack also offers a padded board carrier, part # RRRWP03.

The Inno Square Crossbars part #INB165 and the Thule Square Load Bars part THLB65 are both 65" long x 1-1/4" wide x 7/8" tall so yes, they should work in place of one another just fine.
