we need a roof box but I can't afford to build another garage to store it in.

So looking at soft roofbox's or bags, however ideally id like to use roof bars with it so a semi rigid base? anyone got any opinions on what's good and not?

Can’t answer you question.
However, you can store a hard roofbox in roof of your garbage using straps, maybe this might work for you. (apologies if you were already aware of this)

Inflatable ones are a good option I have heard

Thule Ranger is the default. There are now plenty of Chineseum copies on Amazon etc.

Most have a semi hard base. If you look at the instructions for the Ranger, it has roll out ribs:
