Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • I wear the bag, so fit is super important as I need full arm swing to push my chair when I’ve got it on (I like the GoRuck bags as my chest/shoulders are rather large from pushing chair).
  • GoRuck has a kids backpack. Probably use it until they finish college.
  • Goruck is nice
  • If you want to cosplay paramilitary weekend secops, just go get a goruck?
  • I love my Goruck backs but clearly I’m a pouch guy.

Cons

  • I've switched most of my bags from Goruck to Ctactical. However you are not wearing the bag high and tight to make the best use of the thick straps. Also the straps need to be broken in. It's a pain in the ass and takes forever like a go...
  • I had a goruck that I absolutely hated and barely used due to how heavy it was
  • For me it is GoRuck—no water bottle pockets, no sternum strap, no luggage sleeve.
  • I would suggest a Goruck but if your price range is only 250 then it probably wouldn’t be the best
  • GoRuck is also just the equivalent of an American pick up truck in my eyes. I just assume it’s only Americans who buy them.

I've switched most of my bags from Goruck to Ctactical. However you are not wearing the bag high and tight to make the best use of the thick straps. Also the straps need to be broken in. It's a pain in the ass and takes forever like a good pair of shoes.

I've been carrying a small "tactical" Goruck for years because I got it as a gift and I'm too cheap to buy another until it breaks down.

you can buy X PAC versions of a lot of the popular brands recommended here like Aer, Goruck (while they have them in stock), Tom Bihn, etc.
