Lots of the cheap ones listed are usually universal ones for cars that don't have solid roof rails, as the SF5 does.
For my SF5 I got a cheap set from Halfords, under 35 quid that weren't actually listed for the car, but they do fit. If I can dig out the paper work I'll get the model number.
But it does depend what you want them for. I usually put mine on twice a year with a roof box, or transporting sheet wood. But I don't like the noise so only use them when I need to. If you want to keep them on all the time you'l need the aero type. My mate also has an SF5 and he has some aero ones also from halfords, exodus ones that he says are great.

Sorry, I can't find the paperwork on mine. I bought them about 5 years ago. Can't see any noticeable markings on them either.

The one my mate has got are the exodus ones form halfords, you can put your reg to check the options, but its not working at the minute: https://www.halfords.com/motoring/ro...fbars&fittings
