They work very well.
you just can't carry someone on it..weight limit on theses is between 25-40lbs
Yep, they do work quite well for light loads. Some brands have a quick release clamp which makes them easy to swap from bike to bike, but these usually have very light load ratings.
Axiom has a model that allows for panniers to be attached:

I have no personal experience with that particular rack, so I can't say how well it works. My feeling is that if your going to run the full pannier set-up, just go with the regular style rack (get a good quality one though).
