I'd still use roof bars, the universal boot carriers are usually pretty useless and despite your best efforts can slide around making a real mess of the back end of your cars shiny paint.
I had a new age blob saloon with a boot spoiler so had to use roof bars, but I have had a rear mounted bike rack previously on another car so I know the mess they can make.
hope this helps

Over the year I've had various rear mounted bike racks ranging from Halfords to Saris bones range, in particular their bones 2 carrier which was awesome.
When I went full carbon I ended up with the Saris bones gran fondo which secures the bike via the wheels protecting the frame.
I'm now use the wife's wagon for transporting the bike so I've went with the Thule roof bars and Thule bike carrier, no worrying about marking the paintwork and it's 100% secure and safe.

For the roof set up? It is quite costly but well worth it. If you're serious about cycling then you won't regret it.
Tbh I can't remember the cost, obviously the Wagon has roof rails as std but the bars and carriers was maybe £350 all in.
The carrier I have secured the bike by the front fork and rear wheel, and the set up has keys to lock it all in so no chance of it being stolen.
