I drove down to the South of France a few years ago, two up on a curvy and used Oxford sport panniers and a tank bag (can't remember the make of tank bag but it was squarer than the humpback Oxford one) I prefer the larger squarer tank bags as they are better to lean on.

I tend to avoid tail packs as they make getting on on and off a pain.

I sat the panniers pretty high and tight as they always sag a little and then I bungied and strapped them firm, they never moved and I never found any added width a problem.
