I would suspect you would be better off with the bird automotive or Wilwood system, than the bike on the rear trunk system in your 3rd link.
One of the problems of the roof transport system, besides having to choose top up or top down before installation, is that the wind noise is a LOT LOUDER than you would expect. Top down, anything over about 30MPH is too loud for conversation. As an RTS owner, I consider the RTS ok for the occaisonal desk, lumber, or mattress transport, but a poor choice for regular bike use.
If one problem with bike on the rear trunk is noise, then others would be: increased risk of scratching car, lifting higher, inability to easily open rear trunk, and wind resistance/airflow disruption in the wrong place.
Several folks are happy with the Willwood system, though the hitch takes some fiddling to get installed right the first time. If you ever plan on using a track trailer, it is an obvious choice.
I have no experience with the BirdAutomotive rack - but it looks like a good, basic bike rack.
