After investigating this same dilemma, I opted for a hitch-mount carrier. I found one on Ebay for a decent price inc. S&H. I determined that ones that slide INTO a receiver are a little more sturdy than ones that mount on a ball. For me (at 5'3") getting bikes on TOP of anything would be a problem.

The carrier I got was very easy to load/unload. Unfortunately I only used it once before buying a pop-up camper, so now it won't work for me. I usually load the PUP with our clothes & stuff and carry the bikes (just 2) inside.
