Aluminium panniers,best ones,opinions please
Hi,I have a K7 DL650 which has Suzuki panniers & top box,while these are great for "hostel hopping" I find their shape too restrictive for a longer trip which will involve camping gear. I plan to replace the top box with a rack so I can strap a decent sized Ortileb/Wolfman/similar bag to it as I have found that gives me more flexibility packingwise.
I have done some research on here & the web about Alu panniers (not interested in soft luggage for this,been there,done that) but still confused as to best option 
I often have a pillion so need a reasonable capacity to cope with two peoples equipment,Tesch seem good but worried about the rack fitting my bike(silencer on one side only so wasted space on the other side);Metal Mule seem well made but very pricey & am not keen on a hinged lid;Touratech Pro would fit to bike well but have read some negative comments.
Any helpful comments gratefully received
