In my experience, weight of any kind travels better when lower, though I oddly prefer the SaddleSack to panniers. It may not be a big thing for you. With my vertigo, anything that effects the handling of the bike is trip-ending. I can't carry weight above my waist, so hydration packs are out for me as an option anyway, so I can't speak to the benefit of the weight being on me above my suspension (knees/elbows), vs. on the bike below suspension.
