Like Bravo said this thread has done a great job of listing the right questions to ask in order to put you on the path to finding a solution to your pack "problem".
I've used small assault packs, to bergens, to drag bags, and more, eventually landing on an Eberlestock Skycrane II.
It serves my needs well:
-large capacity if needed but not a default configuration in order to prevent "big bag not full, must pack more" syndrome
-assault pack + rucksack package
