SKS Chromoplastics. Once you fitted them, it's a 5 minute job to take them off again.

I'd have thought Raceblades might be a bit tight on 35mm tyres? Chromoplastics work well for me, good quality fixings and available in various widths to suit your tyres/frame. Not had to take them off, but it's all hex bolt attachments so should be easy enough to remove/refit.

The Raceblade XL is designed for tyres up to 32mm only.

Chromoplastics here too. Bit of a ballache to fit 1st time, but that's all in working out which fittings to use, setting up and adjusting the support arms. Once that's done, it's 3 bolts at the front and 4 at the back to remove/refit. They're pretty solid, not wobbly and not noisy. Lots of sizes available too.

Chromoplastics here too. Two pairs of them.

Doubt I'd ever have anything else.

+1 for Chromoplastics. I've got them on 4 bikes. Bombproof. You can even buy spare parts if needed.
