One thing I've learned the hard way toting all kinds of gear. Look very closely at how straps / handles/ anchor points are sewn in.
I've had a number of bags that failed because the handles were only sewn in an inch or two. I look for ones that either are sewn all the way around the bottom or at least down to the bottom piece. That's one thing about true military surplus gear, it may not be pretty, is usually not light, but it's well constructed.
