Do those of you that use these on the factory rack have an opinion on which is best and/or most secure?

TIA and Cheers!

Have only used the Yakima, but I give them thumbs up...

as we speak the Thules are 50% off at REI.

I used the Yakima on my old TrailBlazer's factory rack and it held our 2 kayaks nicely. My new RL does not have a factory rack so I need to buy a new set of clamps. I plan on doing that in the next couple of weeks.
