Hi, I've never used one of those hip-belt type bags, but I guess they could cause a lot of imbalance and weight distribution problems, especially if you're using them over long periods. One of the attractive features of the LowePro system is its versatility. You can create your own system of belt attachments, and just use the belt. This distributes things according to your own needs, rather then what the bag designer thinks you need.
The difficulty with bag recommendations is that it is such a personal subject, and what works for one person may not work for others. In fact, for the same person different bags and systems are useful in many different situations.
