bob trailer or panniers?

That rear rack from Old man mountian looks great!! How does one determine carrying capacity on certain areas (ie.rear) of their bike? I e-mailed Cannondale, but have not heard back. I plan to pack light, so, if I can get away with a rear rack, that may be the cheapest option. Again, I appreciate all of the help.

hey, my boyfriend and i are doing the vancouver to tijuana trip in late june too! do you have an exact date your starting yet? we'll be starting the 28th or 29th of june. we'll probably average about 50-55 miles per day. are you camping?
i did a cross country tour fall '05 and i used Ortlieb paniers, the bike packer plus. My BF used a trailer and this time he's switching to paniers. we both really love them.
have fun on your trip, maybe i'll see you riding down the coast!
