Default Selecting A new Bike Rack

I have a new 2720 QS with a 2" rear receiver hitch. I sold my 2008 and used to have the bikes in my pickup bed. I'm looking to haul 2 adult sized bicycles. There are many bike racks sold out there, as you all know. I've owned many myself for my vehicles and when my kids were younger. I'm asking for people advice on racks they used and like. I'd need to buy one for this new TM and wanted to start with solid advice from folks who really like their bike racks and what reasons they like them.

Some ideas;

-being able to pull out the bed and fold out rear roof without messing with rack or taking the bikes off the rack to do it.
-Stability when driving.
-security when parked. Self locking or cable/chain locking.
-being able to get into the bumper compartment with bikes loaded.
-being able to fold down the bikes and rack to open the rear roof.
-having a platform portion to the rack to additional gear storage.
-corrosion resistance.
-ability to cover bikes while mounted to minimize road splash and dirt.

Thanks in advance!
