Roof Racks and Hard Shell RTT's

It seems like for the Hard Shell RTT they would take of almost the entire rack for most racks. If that is the case, then a lot of the features of many racks quickly diminish, it would seem a basic flat rack is ideal in that case. What do you think the ideal rack is for a Hard Shell RTT?

Length Width
Gobi 88" 45"
Baja 91" 46"
K9 55-86" 49"
FrontRunner 3/4 61.4" 49.4"
FrontRunner 85.27" 49.4"
ARB Simpson III 55" 47"
Airtop 83" 51"
OverRoam 82" 50"
JB Evasion 78.5" 55.5"
JB Discovery 79" 55"

Just me but I bolt and strap a lot of stuff to my roof rack. With that, I would never go with a steel rack (too much mx for me with heavy use) so I went with an Alu rack and also a flat rack with no lips but a good T-track or similar design for mounting items..FR, Eezi-Awn, Pioneer, etcc area a few that would work well with hard shells. A lot of aftermarket full length racks will do but just my preferences.
