I've been happy with my Tubus Vego Evo rear rack. It was pricier that I had planned to spend, but I like that it is light weight, narrow and low profile. This mean the bag sits lower and closer to centre of the bike so it minimises the impact on handling. It's not a heavy duty rack, can take up to 25kg which is plenty for me anyway. For bags I used the Orlieb Back Roller classic, it's no nonsense and has a shower strap which is convenient but I would carry it around fully loaded for long excursions.

Not very familiar with racks and all that. Can anybody recommend me a nice rear rack and bags? Light if possible but doubt there's such a thing. As cool as a front rack looks, I personally found it really twitchy when something weighty was in front of the bike. Not sure if its a matter of getting used to it or not but I tried a mates bike with one of those specialized pizza rack and did not like it at all.
Would want a bag that I can pop on neatly on the sides of the rack and not on top, can easily be slung on my shoulders/back when off the bike will be a big plus.
Thanks guys!
