Hard storage cases are preferrable in so many ways: they protect your stuff, they provide a framework for packing loose, irregularly-sized objects (you don't want a container to have "flexibility in it's dimensions"!) etc.

I have used a hard storage case on top of a van, for a family vacation, and it worked great. I've also toted stuff around every day for years, as a drummer, a computer guy, and when I used to work in the construction field; and hard cases are what you will be wanting if you use this storage much. Floppy storage bags are so frustrating and unreliable, even dangerous. Establish a consistent storage area that you can count on.
