I have a set of Arkel GT-54s and I love them and the folks I talked with who had them or similar Arkels love them. There are folks who are riding with the same ones from 15+ years ago and the worst thing is some sun damage.
One nice thing about the GT-54s is the tent sleeve on the right side. I use it for my hammock supplies to keep them organized and out of the way to free up my inner panniers for the rest of my gear. Plus they have tons of pockets and a great attachment system to a rack.
