For durability, another TU for the Wald folding baskets. That said, my commuter is a touring bike and is the nearest thing to a road bike I have, so I use panniers due to ease of removal. You can find decent quality ones for less than $50. If $50 is rack + panniers budget, then it is baskets. Unless, of course, you want to make your own cat litter buck panniers (bolt replacement pannier hardware to the rectangular buckets). Before going this route, make sure you have enough heel clearance, as they aren't very forgiving to hit when fully loaded.
