One advantage is that you can mount the panniers lower in the front. Putting the weight as low as possible makes for a more stable ride. I also feel like it is a better idea in terms of load distribution. There is already your heavy ass on the rear wheel so why not put the luggage on the front wheel.

Have you considered using p-clips?
An unrelated question, can anyone explain why mounting a rack on the front wheel would be preferable to the rear? I always thought rear panniers were the go-to option, but front seems popular here.
