Choosing Panniers?
Post Body

First of all, I'd like to thank everyone here for being so helpful with all of my noobish questions!

So, here comes another:

What placement do you recommend for panniers, and what panniers do you recommend?

I've heard the lower front panniers will keep the bike more stable, since the weight is lower. It seems that this would adversely affect steering. Is this the case?

I heard that rear panniers will usually hold more, but may make the bike less stable. Is this a major concern?

So, what pannier configuration do you recommend, and what panniers do you recommend?

I'll be commuting in Portland, OR with these, so waterproof is a must.
