Panniers...who to go with?

Need to buy my rear rack/pannier setup this month and was looking for some insight. At this point I've pretty much narrowed it down to Happy Trails vs. Overland. I ride a 650L.

Suggestions? Price and durability are main concerns.

Thanks in advance.

I don't know the happy trails stuff, but I use/abuse Overland Solutions stuff on an L. the rack is bomb-proof so you also need the frame reinforced to go carrying your luggage. I expect "standard" racking will be cheaper and lighter, but less robust.

Check out the Moto-Sport Panniers. I've used them on my 650L for awhile now and like them as they are narrower than tne Happy Trails and come standard with a drop in bag. http://www.moto-sportpanniers.com/
