I'm in the middle of a custom bike build and I'm trying to decide on what rear rack to use on a bike meant both for commuting and touring. On my current bike I use a MIK-compatible rack and trunk bag, and I'd like to do the same for the one I'm building if possible.
Most of the racks I'm seeing have ~25kg capacity, which seems like enough capacity, but I'm new to touring and I'm not sure if I'm missing key features that the popular touring racks offer.
For reference, these are some of the racks that I'm seeing:

I don't want to use the MIK mount for touring loads, and if these two requirements don't line up, I can spring for a second rack I swap to, but I'd prefer not to spend more money this way. Do you know if there is a rear rack you'd trust with touring loads that also has a MIK plate?
