I use a bagman (non-QR version) that is permanently attached to an SQR bracket - it may look like a lot of ironmongery for just one saddlebag but the SQR system is so convenient. I've got SQR blocks on two of my bikes and it takes 2-3 seconds to fit or remove the saddlebag and the bagman holds it well clear of the rear wheel and stops it from swinging from side to side.
The QR bagman is a very neat device (I was inspecting one yesterday afternoon) but it's slightly more fiddly than the SQR, and the think I like about the SQR is that when you've taken the bag off, there's only a little block attached to the seatpost, no great big metal frame sticking out at the back like some sort of cold war radar device.
