We have the Bikepacker, because the ones you roll up take too long to get into! I agree; that really matters to us too. In the Bikepackers, things stay totally dry but the panniers open fast with a couple of clicks and a drawstring. Piece of cake, honest.

"My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure." O. Sacks

I asked the same thing last November and someone else asked it in June, and most people seem to like Ortliebs.
I have the Backroller, and I don't find them hard to get into at all. When it's not raining, I don't put the outside strap on, so you just have to click open one buckle to get into them. Highly recommended.

I would recommend Brushwhacker panniers. I have a set of their Yukon panniers and love them.

I have Ortlieb Backrollers. Faster to get into than my old REI panniers. Very waterproof, and they hold a ton of stuff.
