Something like the Nitto big rack or Surly front rack will handle a loaded basket no problem, but the problem I see is that people are sticking that kind of load on a small rando rack and then "bikecamping" in some rugged stuff and the racks have got to eventually fail. They aren't that strong and only have three mounting points.
I would think something like the Nitto R14 Top Rack would be a really good basket rack too. - Ryan, who doesn't really get the huge front loading bias that is going on now.
