In my totally biased opinion, use a rack.
Getting a stable welded rack, you will know, that you will always have a selection of panniers to use that are all compatible. Also you will at any time be able to improvise to carry bigger items by using some rope.
But beware of the pin jointed racks. You might as well spend for a rack like the Topeak one if you want last quality that won't stuff up when you stick on only one pannier.

If you want a nude chick on the pannier then go for the rackless one.

Thanks for your help. I might think like you, but I want to hear opinions before making any decisions.

Screw racks, use a backpack and HTFU.
Just kidding. If your gonna use a pannier, then just get a rack installed. Far more stable and useful.
