I am a big Vaude fan. I have had a set of front and rear Vaude roll-top bags for 7 years or so, and they are brilliant. I like the simplicity and total water/dust proof nature of these bags and they have a huge carrying capacity. In fact we have used this one set of front and rears on a tandem and this is sufficient for warm weather non-camping touring for two people. We also use a barbag (Ortlieb, in fact) and can carry additional stuff strapped/bungied to the top of the rear pannier rack when necessry -but it usually isn't. This was more than enough storage space for a two week holiday tour for two people.
The Vaudes have proved rugged, easy to use, easy to set up for different pannier racks, easy to attach and remove with a single click. Very well made and designed. I have had to replace the hook and handle/release mechanism on one pannier but the spares were available and cheap from Vaude, and otherwise they have proved very tough. They have a huge capacity, I would say in XS of their stated 50L (rears), as you can load them high, even leaving the roll tops open for larger bulky loads. The beauty of the rolltop design also allows you to squish them down to a small size if you are only carrying a limited load.
I often use just one pannier on my mountain bike when out for a day ride as it then can take everything needed including spare clothing - but I sometimes get lumbered to carry everyone elses spare cags!!!
The Ortliebs are also very good, but I think the Vaudes have the edge
Vaude: 10/10 Ortlieb: 8/10
Oh and just an additional note on the waterproof nature of these great Vaude bags. We have floated them across rivers and streams on several occasions on wild tours in the Scottish Highlands, and the contents have remained dry. If I have had them out on the mountain bike, I will often hose them down with the bike when cleaning off. A superb bit of kit
