Go with rhino rack stay far away from Curt unless you do not plan to ever get your basket wet.

I had a similar problem with a Curt roof basket I had on a previous vehicle. It started to show rust in under 6 months of Monterey rainstorms. I used it for the cross country move and took it off when we got moved in. About a year later I dusted if off and decided to try and rework it, first by using a wire brush attachment on a rotary tool removing some of the worst rust spots, then priming it, and finally spraying the whole thing with bedliner. Worked well with no issues for the 5 months I used it after that, before getting rid of the Jeep and basket for a 4Runner!
Curt is ok, if you first and foremost understand that it's cheap because it won't last.
