I have just fitted a Surly Nice front rack to my bike. It took a while (that's another story though!) but it looks the business and I'm pleased with. Seems rock solid.
My intention had been to use some old Altura rear panniers I have (possibly Orkney's, maybe only 12 or 15 litres) on the front. They fit just fine in both upper and lower positions on the Surly rack so I can't see a reason why I shouldn't use them, so long as I don't go overloading them.
What says you seasoned tourers?
