Default Best camera bag

I'm looking for a new camera bag and i'm having a very hard time. I want to keep the lens i'm currently using on my camera when storing it, and i use my 70-200mm a lot. so it needs to fit my canon 50D with battery grip, with the zoom lens attached. i also want to put in a few accessories, a wide angle lens, and a 50mm for now. that's it. i have had several lowepro bags and they're great, but i'm really not liking backpacks or slings anymore. i am leaning towards a gadget bag so i can put the thing down, open it up, and get to all my gear. i was looking at the canon 100DG, but am not sure if my camera with zoom lens on will fit. i know the bag will be on the bigger side, which is fine, but I also don't want a behemoth.

any suggestions, advice, or input would be GREATLY appreciated!

I use the Lowepro Slingshot 300AW (or something) it can fit my camera, plenty of lens and flashes. It also got room for my laptop, cables, and much more to list. A pretty awesome bag, but oh well just my 2cents.

I am in love with Crumpler bags, they are built like tanks and don't weigh that much. I fit a T1i with a grip with a Tamron 18-270 on, an 85mm 1.8 and a 50mm 1.8 in to a 6 million dollar home with no problem. With a little bit of finagling I could get an iPad in, too.
