I have used the Carradice SQR, which clamps to the seat post, for many years and have them on both my Saluki & Trek. I have both a Barley and a rarely used LF attached to a pair of the small metal frames that pops into the seat post. As far as I can tell the SQR can be used with any saddle bag that attaches to either the rails or loops and the post.
I go back and forth about front vs rear bags, The front are more convenient while on the bike, but the rear come on and off the bike a lot faster and carry much more stuff for the same size but less weight. The rear bags don't need anything to help them keep their shape but the front rack can be useful to keep a fender in line. Both, as I said before have the advantage of being above the fenders. Yesterday I was caught in a torrent of rain but arrived home, which is 2+ miles down a dirt road with a clean barley bag and dry contents. A pannier would have been quite muddy.
