If you think you'd only need a rack very occaisionally, maybe don't bother with one at all? Quick release racks usually clamp to the seat post. If you don't think you'll use it often, it might be worth it to spend the money on a nice backpack or messenger bag instead.
I have permanent full fenders and rack on my steel utility bike, but I live where it rains often. You can get as fancy and expensive or as cheap as you'd like with quick release fenders. Around here I've seen everything from $5 recycled plastic snap-on shields to sexy-superlight removable race blades.
