If you want the advice of someone who bought hard panniers for this bike then swapped them to softbags as soon as he could, i'd say keep the bike as light as possible by using soft bags. That way you also don't need a heavier pannier frame too.
Big heavy panniers belong on big heavy bikes. It's as simple as that !!
Its not the type of bike that takes heavy panniers well . The suspension and brakes are crap as it is...
Theres some further XT mods on my website if you're interested.

Are they really crap? Does it need to be changed/modified?
Ok soft bags but which brand especially?
