Front Rack Recommendations

I have been considering adding a front rack to my commuter for carrying various things that don't fit conveniently in the rear panniers I use every day. Does anybody have any recommendations?

I'm looking more for a larger cargo style front rack, like this or this, rather than a front rack for panniers.

I'm curious about anyone's experience with racks like this, or with smaller front racks (like this one from Nitto).

if you are going to add a basket, then maybe you do not need a rack.
I just added this sturdy milk crate.

these oven racks are brilliant! how sturdy are they? do you have any more pics?
can you tell me anymore about how you made them. i'm working on something similar now. i'm trying to do it without welding, and using all common hardware store parts.
