I went with Ortlieb panniers because they are waterproof. Their racks are nice too. Check out

+1 on Ortlieb panniers. The are expensive but excellent.
I use mine with a cheap (under $30) rear rack.
There are lots of options with regard to both racks and panniers, both front & rear racks, and various manufacturers of both. Shop around and find what is best for you. I tried for a while commuting with a couple of different rack top bags, but found I needed the capacity of full panniers (bags that hang off the sides of the rear rack). I went with Ortliebs to get the best and be done with it. YMMV.
