i think it's a little tough when it comes to recommendations for a bag... as it really IS just personal choice, as mentioned above. people can only tell you what bag fits THEIR needs, not yours. i guess the same goes with lenses too... haha
but i guess one piece of advice i have to offer is... for under $100, get a messenger-bag-styled bag... it makes getting your gear out quicker and safer. might look a little dorkier than a backpack, but at least you'll be able to switch a lens or grab a flash without having to take it off.... put it on the ground... open a zipper... grab a lens... close up the bag, put it back on. i'd rather look a little dorkier and grab my gear easier, than look cool and fumble with my back pack. yes, i currently use a backpack style bag XD... starting to use my dad's dorky old lunchbox shaped case more though as it fits in my schoolbag and its just so much more efficient.
