I use J style when hauling 2 kayaks. Keep in mind they weren't really designed for our "barges".

Otherwise when going solo I haul my kayak flat upside down. Better aero, lower center of gravity, more confidence in my strap job.

Haven't ever used the J type, but as mentioned above upside down (or right side up depending) lying flat on the cross bars (with some foam buffer pads) has suited me fine for the past few years sine I started kayaking. Never any issues, super rigid, and relatively easy to load.
