Roof Rack Help e91 wagon

I am going to get a roof rack for my 07 328xi. My e91 has the roof rails.

I was wondering if anyone can help me compare the oem roof rack, thule aeroblade and thule aeroblade edge.

At this point I am leaning towards the aeroblade because the aeroblade edge has less area to work with.. just not sure if black or silver, my car is SBM


-The thule aeroblade would give me more workable space (compared to the aeroblade edge) and would be more aerodynamic, and quieter, than the OEM rack
-I like the oem rack, athough this would be the bulkiest/tallest one, because I could put my thule fairing on it and I like the way racks looks on cars with the wind fairing
-The thule aeroblade edge looks like it can connect and disconnect very easily to the roof railings, would have the most sleek look, and would be the quietest, but would have the least area to work with..

Is there any chance that people can share thoughts and photos of their setup? Looking for photos of each, one oem with fairing, one aero and one aeroblade? TIA!

here is one of the aeroblade -


one of the oem -


her is a newer wagon with the aeroblade edge, not sure it is any sleeker than the aero...

I bought the thule aeroblade edge in black even though all the pictures above are of the rack for the non-raised roof rails. I will post pics later.
