52ltr top box for me. I stick my Berghaus 30ltr rucksack in there, so for carrying odds and ends it offers a bit of protection and padding, but if I pop to the supermarket for a shop I can fill the top box and throw the extra in my rucksack and bingo I've now got 82ltrs of carrying capacity.
You might notice the top box at first but you soon get used to it. Which is a thought if you don't like the weight high up panniers might be the way to go. And for certain items like cameras, laptops etc they sit better and more secure in the panniers.
