My two cents worth: I have found the Domke Sling bags to work very well because they have an additional pocket inside to put my monopod into. What Domke calls their Tripod bags, do not. Domke bags also have a huge heavy-duty zipper.
I also like Tamrac's big Location bag for the same reasons. It has two pockets inside. It is also great for a few light stands. A couple of quick tripod traveling tips: When traveling, take the tripod head off or better yet, the whole center column out with the tripod head on it and pack it in your regular carry-on bag or luggage. Too much padding there then to break all of the plastic knobs on most of them. Also, if you use a set of tripod leg pads like those offered from Op-Tech or Tri-Pads, that is usually enough padding to protect any tripod as well as make it more comfortable to carry over your shoulder in use and work with in the freezing cold.
