If you utilise the factory rails, then the carrying capacity is 80kg, INCLUDING the cross bars that go onto the factory rails.
If you removed the factory rails, and mount 3 cross bars to the roof mounting points, the carrying capacity is 100kg, INCLUDING the 3 cross bars.
If you remove the factory rails, I would not be removing it and replacing it constantly. The hard bit is removing the factory rails and then you have to make sure that the O-ring seal is back on and waterproofs the roof.
So if you remove the factory rails, you should replace it with a system that is easily removable should you wish to take it off to access underground carparks or to reduce fuel consumption. But you will be left with minor bits and pieces attached to the roof. I find that Rhino have quite an easy removal system. The ARB is possibly the most difficult.
