For touring I like Ortlieb panniers because they are waterproof. I also love my Candy Bar bag from Rivendell for a handlebar bag.
I use the Banana Bag and the small handlebar bag from Gilles Berthould for most of my rides. I keep my jacket and some extra food in the BB and tools, food and drugs in the GB. I prefer the GB bag to the candy bar bag because it doesn't sway as much. I have the candy bar on the stoker bars on the tandem

I have a Hoss on my commute bike. You can pack for a small family in that thing!
