If I wear shorts over regular padded bike shorts, yes, the shorts will rub the top tube bag sometimes. I never feel the saddle bag.
Those seatpost clamp racks are heavy and you can't get to your stuff unless you stop riding. I like using a handlebar bag if I feel the need to carry a bunch of stuff on a long day ride. Even better would be to only carry what you can fit in your jersey pockets, but that has its limits.
