I have no idea what brand mine is, but I would stay away from the SMA and any brand that closes with a pin-type assembly rather than a latch. I've heard the pin assembly rattles like crazy and the noise will drive you insane. I have a latch on mine, and although there's definitely a trick to getting it closed right, it's no problem once you get the hang of it. I would advise against the locking latch like on the Ebay tire carrier - the last thing you need is to have a malfunctioning or gunked-up lock and you can't access your tire or rear hatch.
