I'm surprised no one's said it yet, but I say:
Ditch the roof cargo box idea completely. It's aerodynamic suicide and trust me they're not very convenient to use. If you need a separate place for your wet campsite stuff just throw a 25-40 gallon big tupperware bin in the back.
I vote for the Subaru Forester option for more off roading, Impreza hatch option if you want better gas mileage (obviously both are 4wd).
