I have some Ortliebs if you want to try them, and what size steel frame do you want you are not much shorter than me, I still have a red steel project frame in the shed with braze ons etc for Canti's
Small panniers up front even out the handling, depending on how much weight you carry, either a saddle bag up back or larger panniers.
Climbing out of the saddle just takes getting used to, first time I went on a Tour four panniers and a saddlebag I nearly ended up on the deck the first time I got out of the saddle
