I use the Ortlieb bag and have zero complaints. They are pricy, but great quality and durability. If you like the Arkel bag, all you need to do is cut up an old tube to create a 'gasket' between the bars and the metal attachment hardware and the rattling is gone. As you know from your wifes bag, it locks and can be easily detached. I may be wrong but it appears that the Arkel bag doesn't detach easily which is something that you may want to consider.
