Both are fine as long as it will handle what you're loading and you get the look you want. I'm a stock kinda' guy so I went with stock but they are more expensive.
Aftermarket Cross Bars
Performed a search on CBs and found mostly everyone getting the OEM one. I did find one that had a "low profile" CB but I can no longer find that product on eBay.
I'm in a position of saving as many pennies as possible so I'm considering an amazon one:
There is, unfortunately, only 37 reviews but most seem positive. The same brand has more reviews on subaru CBs that still show mostly good experiences.
I'm needing to purchase a 12+ft ladder and may not fit in the cabin. Kinda wish we had the 4-runner lowering rear window...
May purchase a basket or medium enclosed storage in the future - but will likely be limited to "light" use.
Thoughts?

I have a cheap low profile cross bar, which they don't sell anymore because it's a knock off of the Yakima bar and they threatened lawsuits.
It all depends on what you want to carry, this one works great for a ski rack but I wouldn't use it with anything heavy or that would produce a high wind load (i.e. bikes, cargo boxes, etc).
I wouldn't take the chance on saving a couple bucks over losing your load on the freeway, buy OEM, Yakima, Thule.
