I have a modest size Beseler sling bag, tried a Domke and a Tamrac as well. I've looked at the Lowerpro 200 AW. For some uses they are convenient, but for most I find them rather awkward to work with.
i have a Lowepro CompuTrekker AW, which is a great bag when i want to carry a ton of gear and the computer, get through airports, etc, and have another rollaway already to deal with. I find it a major pain in the butt to use for actually working out of ... probably better if you tend to hike out into the wilderness a long ways and then do some photography, but I don't do that kind of thing very often if at all. Another bag I have for travel is a Pelican 1514 case. That's my preference for when I'm carrying a lot of gear and only a little travel clothing as it is a hard rollaway that fits nicely in overhead luggage carry on. It is a perfect storage case for the Pentax 645 kit that is on loan to me (camera, four lenses, two film inserts and a few spare rolls of film just about fills it...). But I never use any of these big cases for actual shooting. They're more useful for storage/stowage while traveling. A good, compact shoulder/hip bag is much more useful for shooting, for me.
