Unfortunately, the expense of good panniers is justified.
The good ones are water proof, durable, light, and are
designed correctly to stay out of the way. 
You should invest in both front and rear bags, and a book
that shows how to balance a load. This will make an
enormous difference in handling, but be warned that cheap
front panniers can be a real disaster.
