I don't need to mess with a rack and keeps all my things in the same bag. The main drawback is getting a sweaty back during summer. Although panniers are ok as long as its sturdy enough and installed properly. The shocks from road riding would not be an issue unless you downhill a mountain trail. I've tried messenger bags but I feel they are more suited to shorter trips. The weight distribution of a backpack is much more balanced and more suitable for longer trips. I’m for a backpack as well.

Panniers get stolen so you have to take them with anyway. The safest way is on a back pack, your body will absorb most of the road shocks much better then panniers.
