Thanks for y'all's input!
I ended up ordering the Hazard 4 model.

If your're gonna carry your "life insurance policy" around with you do it discreetly.

I don't plan on carrying my pistol with me when I work.....sadly.

I use this one to carry workout clothes, and uniform clothes (black Under Armor etc) to/from work. Had it the longest, and I love it. Priced around $50-$70

A Timbuk2 messenger bag. Made popular by cyclists, before the baby I used this on wet weather days to/from school as it is weatherproof. Post baby, it has been seized and converted to diaperbag duty as it is one that I don't mind toting around, and matches our high falootin' stroller, carseat, baby carrier. That's life. These are around $60, I think I have a medium one. http://www.timbuk2.com/tb2/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

The Mountainsmith guys didn't have anything in the area of what I'm looking for and while I like the Timbuk2 products they're a little pricey.

Ok, I think I've narrowed it down to three option but I want to see if anyone has any personal experience with any of these before I make a purchase.
I just got a promotion at work and will now need to carry a laptop(15.4") and a leather binder with me daily as well as various forms and paperwork.
Some other stuff I'll be carrying include a safety vest, pens, 3D Maglite, small Streamlight, metal clipboard and various small thing like an Advil bottle as such.
Here are the three I'm torn on...

Each one has it's own pros and cons in my opinion. I'm just looking to see if you've ever used one of these.
If you know of a similar, cheaper alternative that would fit the bill let me know.
