OK, as the manager of a bike shop, I would say go with the roof rack. Easily removable, plus you get the options of adding more stuff later on like snowboard/ski mounts, travel boxes, etc. I have a Yakima system and have never had a problem. Drop me a line and I'll see what kindda deal i can work for you. Trunk mounts suck, and trailer hitch mounts add unwanted weight to the car. Not just my 2-cents, but a professional (seeing that it's what I do for a living) point of view.
Have to agree with this guy. Now that I think of it Yakima is the only roof rack available on the contour. But if you do go hitch I think Thule is the way to go .
