The S-5 bracket looked interesting until I realized that, on a rafter roof, you would never consistently find the rafter under the holes. Even with the SnapNRack single hole unit, getting it over 2 x 8 rafters is a nightmare. I have never seen rafters that would allow for holes through two valleys. So the only other way would be to fasten to the purloins. 3/4" purloin strips are not going to give you a lot of embed.
