I use and like the Nitto 20R "Mt Campee" rear rack. It's a bit more light/compact (like the R-15) than the really big racks. It can be found for ~$140 online. Riv's 32R rack is basically a reinforced/triangulated version of the 20R.
The R-15 has adjustable struts on top and bottom, so it definitely can be customized to fit any frame, and could be positioned far to the rear, if you needed heel clearance. I have fine heel clearance with the 20R mounted on my Riv Road <http://s1060.photobucket.com/user/Tim_Gavin/media/Rivendell/IMG_00421_zps6vuvmevf.jpg.html>, even with short its 43 cm chainstays. My Vaude panniers have Ortlieb hardware, so they're very adjustable front-to-rear. I don't know if the "free floating" design of the R-15 would make it less sturdy than a frame with solid bottom anchors like the 20R. My impression would be yes, it would be more flexy, but maybe only a tiny amount. Those Nitto rack bolts are very secure. The R-15 is kinda unique in that it has a big keystone loop. That would make it easily compatible with a large Trunksack. I have an olive one for sale/trade if you become interested. I also use and like the Tubus Logo Evo.
