Crumpler 8(7?) million dollar home, which is pretty perfect for specific events (holds a couple bodies with big lenses on and ready to shoot, and at least one additional lens, as well as a flash or two).
And this: http://store.lowepro.com/fastpack-250
Which is great, but a little too small. I've pretty much come to the conclusion that either your backpack is going to be small and versatile and blend in well in society, or it's going to hold all the gear you want it to. I like the side access for walking around town and whatnot, but I need a bigger backpack for when I want to pack more gear (it's pretty tight in there).
One rule I go by is that whatever the specs say a bag fits, I always multiply by 2/3 or so, because they're maxing it out and nothing is ready to shoot, which is the opposite of how I carry my gear most of the time.

Crumpler 7mdh - main bag to hold everything but hate it for traveling Tamrac 3370 Aero - my newer travel bag for traveling light. thought it was bigger when I ordered it but it works.
I have a Lowepro bag that is ok but not great and rarely use it. I'm looking to get a bigger tamrac backpack that will be better suited for traveling. I need a place for a laptop/ipad, headphones, and a few handy things that the Crumpler just can't provide.

I have been meaning to get the 400 AW but the 300 holds about as much as I want to carry for an extended amount of time.

I've thought about the 400AW as well...
I love the 300 for day hiking. It carries my body, 3-4 lenses, some extra camera gear, a few water bottles, snacks, and a tripod exceptionally well.

I have used a Lowepro Fastpack 250 since 2010. It holds a lot of stuff, I like it, just haven't needed it a whole lot this year.
