Thule or Yakima racks are great. I have Thule bars and saddles. If you have decent factory racks you can use some foam to pad and then 2 good web straps under bars/over yak. I tie off bow and stern for any highway cruising. Bars save some wear and tear on the finish of the car if that matters and can also be easier to load.

I have a sit-in and lockable Thule bars. I put a heavy U-bolt thru the bulkhead behind the seat and spoiled the threads. I lock it up to the bars with a plastic covered chain for bicycles. For SOT's you can put the chain thru a scupper hole. For longer term serious security I would consider a longer chain and lock it to the car frame or through the back windows.
