How much money do you have to spend? That will help you get appropriate recommendations!
The Jandd panniers look awesome but are expensive... Arkel has some very innovative designs including a backpack/pannier combo for about $150. Some of the cheap ones from Nashbar and Performance have worked quite well for me and others.
