Roof bars are one of the areas where you’ll regret going cheap. Buy roof rails for your car from a breakers, fit them using high quality steel bolts, get Thule as theirs a whole system that integrates.
I keep the wing bars on the roof all the time and then slot in what I need- takes seconds as every single lock uses the same key.
28.7mpg over 2 hours yesterday coming back from Luton, averaging (IIRC) 43mph, so they’re not impacting on the fuel economy, nor can you hear them.
