I have the Specialist 85AW:

Works well for a dSLR with a big zoom on it like the 70-200/2.8. It works "less well" for when you want anything but the big-ass zoom on the camera, as the big zoom still takes up the center large compartment. If you primarily shoot stuff with a large tele, it's great. I love it at the track.
It has a combined shoulder strap and belt, which makes it insanely comfortable to haul a decent amount of stuff in. When shooting, you can slide it around to your side or front, and work "out of" the bag. It came with plenty of dividers- a bunch of them are sitting on the shelf because I didn't need them after making pockets for my three other lenses.
A plastic rain shield is in the bottom and comes out fairly easily to cover the entire thing and keep it dry in practically monsoon-like conditions. Two stretchy mesh side pockets are perfect for small-diameter waterbottles.
If you shoot primarily with smaller lenses, maybe look for something similar but with a different internal layout. Top loading is still a great idea, I think...I just wish I had a layout that let it work with more than just my tele lens :( I can still stuff the camera in the bag with other lenses (especially smaller ones), it's just a little snug. A full-size or verticle-gripped camera would only be able to do the on-the-side trick positioned with the vert. grip towards the middle of the bag.
