Default The thule kit has the little nub that lines up with the holes in the door frame...

I don't think yakima does and this helps with on and off tremendously. I went with thule feet and bars but I have a yakima bike trey. Love the set up!!

Default go with the audi cross bars or the thule ones (whichever are cheaper)

because thule makes them for audi...
for the box/rack....get a box, it keeps your skis/board in better shape and you can use it for other stuff than skis/boards if you need the extra room on a roadtrip....
I assume you're just using it for ski/snowboard style use...if so I'd definitely go for the box instead of the open air rack..

Thaks for the feedback everyone. Thule with a cargo box sounds like my setup.
