When we went FT 3 years ago, we carried our bikes on a hitch-mount carrier on our toad. They wobbled a lot and the braces to secure them wore through the paint and abraded the bikes' top bar.
So 2 1/2 years ago I got a ladder-mount carrier for our bikes. It's light-weight so I guess it's aluminum. I feel the bikes are secure. Since then we've put on > 15,000 miles, from Arizona to Michigan, Florida, Minnesota, Oregon, California, and back to Michigan. The only problems we've encountered were self-inflicted (

Well, one problem I haven't solved yet. When the bikes were carried horizontally on the toad, I had a good cover to protect them from weather. I haven't found a good way to cover them when carried vertically on the ladder-mount. Still, I'd use a ladder-mount.
