For daytrips and hikes, I like the Rover II AW. Would fit your lenses and anything else you'd need to carry(jacket, food, more photo gear...)

What type of bag are you looking for (backpack, shoulder, sling, messenger)? Each serves a different purpose so you will find most people own more then one.

If you are considering shoulder, messenger consider Crumpler's.

I'm kinda thinking shoulder bags, but I kinda like the slings. Which would be the best fitting: 100 AW or 200 AW?

I owned the Slingshot 200 AW and it wasn't very comfortable after about 1-hour of use. It really started to hurt my back. I went to a Think Tank UD35 and things are MUCH better.

I pack everything in my sig tag into a Fastpack 200. More comfortable than the Slingshot and works exactly the same way. Also room on top for other stuff like a rain jacket...etc.

The Slingshot 200 has grown on me, I find it very comfortable, but that's me. If I were looking for a bag all over again, I'd definitely look at a Crumpler, probably a 7 or 8 MDH

I have the Lowepro Stealth Reporter 400 (shoulder bag) and the SlingShot 200 (sling bag). I could fit all the gear in my sig line into each of those bags.

I use a Nova 5 AW, and it fits a lot of stuff. Almost too much stuff, if you're not eager to carry a heavy bag...

There is a lot of stuff crammed into my bag, and it is heavy, but not heavy enough that I won't carry it for hours at a time. I've got a few big lenses in there too. The Canon 28-300mm IS L, a Sigma 180mm macro, plus the two gripped bodies, Sigma 18-200mm OS under the Canon 50mm f/1.8, AA batteries under the two bodies, flash unit, plus the crap I have stuffed into the pockets and flap. Pretty much holds everything I want or need for a full day of shooting whatever it is I shoot.

I have a slingshot 200 and love it. I do think that you have too much gear for that bag though. All of your gear would fit in the 200 but it would be heavy and you'd have no room for expansion if you get anything else. You would have to go with the 250 or some other style.
