Best carrying case for 17" PB?

I'll be getting a 17" Powerbook soon and am curious about a suitable carrying case. I have narrowed it down to the Chrome Kremlin Bike Messenger Bag and the Crumpler Cashmere Blazer Messenger Bag. Both say that they accomodate 17" laptops but I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions about these or other cases? I am a graduate student so I need to carry my entire life with me. thanks.

I carry a lot of junk with me and this backpack has been great since I got my 17" in May. Good price too.
