So does anyone know where to get a good roof rack from, or what the best one would be?

Thule or Yakima. A guy on the Ocho has most of one for sale. Prepare to spend $300+. You can scan craigslist and ebay or some of the mtn bike forums.
You will need Q clips, towers, cross bars, bike trays and locks.

How difficult is it to put a mountain bike on the roof of a civic? Is it insane to get it on the roof and strap it in?

Depends on what you go with. You can do a fork mount or a full bike mount. I would think fork mount would be a bit easier? lees weight to trow up there. Also I think the fork mount just grabs the bike better.
There was a recall on the Yakima full bike mount that if whatever happened the bike could fall off, lol. There are more options on how the bike is held with a full bike mount.
Fork mount...
Full bike mount...

Im sure there are other brand but these are the two more recognized ones. There are also those trunk strap racks and a hitch rack too.

I've seen the hitch mounts before.. I've just never seen anyone throw their bike on a roof rack. I just invision pedal scratches, chains rubbing, or bad things in my head when it's being lifted up

I guess it would depend on the person. My bike is 33lbs, little less without the front tire if I end up doing a roof rack.
I would guess that you place the rear tire on the tray first then try to insert the fork at the mount point. Can't be that hard to not hit the car with the bike.

I want the fork mount one, I bought a trunk mount but not really crazy about it. It holds good that I can tell, I went down some rough roads with the bikes on and everything stayed in place.
