I'm going with roof mount because of reasons you mention - and I get in and out of back a lot. I may not carry it (or the roof rack even) all the time, just when going out of town.
I got a Thule roof rack but Yakima is the only one who had a spare tire mounting bracket (or is the brands the other way around?). I can drill a few holes and adapt it to my roof mount but haven't yet.
