My opinion is the best saddle bag is a super lightweight race and a drybag attaches to it.
All saddle bags wag around and are shit really, if they’ve any weight in them.
After experimenting with quite a few options and hypothesising about load of others, I've come to a similar conclusion.
It looks like the manufacturers have realised this too as the latest thing in seat packs seems to be to incorporate a mini rack, to add stability, and make it quicker putting on and taking off, at the cost of a little bit more weight.
I've just ordered an Arkel Seatpacker, which has a mini rack.

That’s exactly why I’m asking now about those kinda luxury items so I can run them before.
Bags... well I made a frame bag that works pretty well but needs refinement and someone on here is helping with that. Saddle bag is the one that’s not really resolved yet.
