The Saab rack is cheaper, at least if you can buy it used. The reason is that the Saab rack (made by Thule) has the feet and the mounting kit and the bars all built into one piece.
If you buy a general kit rack from Thule or Saab, you need (1)bars, about $50, (2)aero feet, about $120, and (3)a vehicle specific "fit kit" that attaches to the feet, about $45.
You can skip all 3 and get one simple unit if you get the Saab rack. I bought mine on eBay for $55 and it's great.
But the general question of Thule v. Yakima -- I'm a Thule fan. I think their components are superior though they are pricey. I have used Thule for 15 years on various cars.
