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

I bought a used pair of Happy trails denali panniers off of ebay. They worked great on my DL 650 on my ride through South America to Brazil. They were water tight and were welded nicely together.
If I hadn't gotten such a good deal on these panniers I was planning on buy a pair of those chinese panniers (Tusk). They are cheap and I think would have gotten the job done too on a budget.
