Roof rack or hitch rack?

I need help deciding which to get. I am very familiar with a roof rack setup, but since getting my X5 I am wondering if a hitch rack will be better. I will need to carry my Trek MTB, wife's MTB, and my little boy's bike.

Roof rack pros: versatile, good looking, secure. Cons: aerodynamics, hard to load, bugs.

Hitch rack pros: easy to load, carry more bikes, carry kids' bikes, aerodynamics. Cons: I have no hitch.

Would appreciate any opinion either way.
