I prefer messenger-bag style packs to regular backpacks. No visibility issues and handy as heck, but still a bit sweaty.
My wife uses waterproof panniers, usually just 1. Image below. We experience a lot of rain and slush and these work great. Ortleibs are wonderful too, though considerably more pricy. I agree with gorper that panniers ride better than a saddle bag because the weight is lower. That Carradice is very classy though!
