Pannier Racks for Commuter

[kooga]

Hi Guys, After searching the previous threads I couldnt find any decent information on pannier racks ( I know they are uncool but it is for a commuter). SO whats that go? Do you get what you pay for, or is cheaper just as good? I have a single speed steel hardtail with rim brakes and probably looking at wanting to carry 15kg. Is this bound to fail, am I better off getting a fork mounted system than having it out back? I am looking towards cheaper as bike will be locked up in a non-secure area.
Cheers in advance

I have the Super Tourist DX rack by Topeak. It's rated to 25kg, and seems pretty sturdy. The most I ever carry in it is about 6-7kg though.

How many do you want? I have four hanging in the shed. But I also have an Axiom low profile thing that is pretty good. And Tubus is a brand worth looking at...
