Anything LowePro makes. They are friggin AWESOME. Zippers never break, compartments can be modified, there is tons of padding, everything is readily accessible, and they come in a range of sizes.
Seconded. I took my CompuTrekker AW (http://products.lowepro.com/product/CompuTrekker-AW,1924,16.htm) all over Europe for a total time on the road of about two months. It was neither small nor lightweight, but it has nary a scratch on it or any of my equipment despite a good deal of abuse. I got quite a bit of use out of the built-in rain cover, as well. Perhaps too big for your purposes, but I'm sure you could find a variant that suits...
I had a LowePro for 3 days, and the strap broke and it went back to Amazon. (The stitching that attached the strap for the across the chest support came undone)
I've yet to re-order but even with one that broke that quickly, I really enjoyed the bag.

I totally agree, I have owned 9 different bags made by them, and I wouldn't own anything else.
