Not a lot of choice when we looked a few years ago. Bought the Handiholdall from these guys - http://www.handiworld.com
It's a decent size - 320 litres I think - though packing it to the max is an artform. Bif faffy to get on and fastened down (we used normal roof bars). Construction solid enough not to worry about it on the roof in all weathers - although after a few trips I had to fix some loose stitching but no biggy.
It's not waterproof but we use big drybags inside and never had wet kit even when lots of water in the bag.
Biggest advantage of bags over boxes (beside cost) is ability to take off and roll up for storing in home or boot of car. But that also creates a disadvantage in that once bag empty (at eg campsite) then it has to be taken off the bars really, whereas box can be kept on.
If storage not an issue, I'd suggest looking for a second-hand roofbox as well as considering bags. We bought a big roofbox recently and life generally easier with it compared to bag.
