Too many Kifaru bags to pick from!

But for me Kifaru excels in versatility, which means many options, and straps .

Agreed. Many (including me at first) are intimidated by strap maintenance and all the flexibility, but once you get used to it it's really nice to be able to change your bag to best fit your needs for each trip out.
 
My vote is for the AMR as well. I used it for a backpack hunt and two other trips this year. It compresses easily into a day pack and you can expand it to pack out all of your meat. I would recommend a belt pouch or two and a side pocket to have access to items you need quickly. I had my options narrowed down to the same list and am very happy with the AMR. I would rather have too much pack than not enough.
 
Reckoning with Guide Lid, water bottle holder and two small belt pouches worked awesome for my Dall hunt and a month of caribou and moose hunting. Really like the layout. Got so skinny that I thought I might need a medium belt instead of a large though!
