you can't go wrong with Thule Roof Bars, I can't comment on the roof box as I don't have one (yet) I will be borrowing my Dad's Thule Ski Roof box in a couple of months for my son's 1st camping trip.

I don't know who's looking forward to it most, me or them

Thule roof bars worked great for me (quick release type), havn't tried any cheaper ones yet. As for roof box the mid range branded ones dont seem much lighter any others so i bought cheap. Try to get the largest volume u can for the price, you will need it! Dont forget to only stick the really light stuff up in there, bedding etc. They really affect your handling.
