My son uses the all-star bag because he likes a large opening with a few pockets on the side. It holds everything. We replace it once a year because he's a year round player and it does take a beating..and gets soooo smelly. Generally we replace it when we buy new gear. That way everything is fresh at least once a year, lol. What's very important to him is that it not have wheels. He says, doesn't matter how tired he is after the game, he's going to look strong in front of scouts.
