It's worth considering something with loops like the Jacko pack or the Rase one from Smart Parts. That way, if you want to carry less paint then the pack profile is smaller. Dunno what sizes the Jacko ones come in, but the Smart Parts ones go all the way from 3+2 (3 "normal" pot holders & 2 loops) up to I think it's 6+5.
well at campaign i saw smartparts selling a 15 pot pack!! (that must weigh some wen full)
But back to the serious side of the thread.
i had a jacko, and hated it. They arent built brilliantly, and when full tend to tilt away from the body, putting alot of pressure on the bottom of the spine. and they seemed a tad too tight on the pots.
Rase, and Dye do some nice packs, they are comfy and well supported.
but ive just invested in a 3.2 redz dimension at campaign, and i am glad i did. Redz (i think) are the daddys of battle packs. they are comfy thanks to the support belts, and once on that paint aint going nowhere.
the standard pod loops are loose enough to let the pots fall out when the strap is released (so no more opened lids when needing paint) and the loops are velcro'd out of the way when not used.
only draw back is the price. i spent £60 on mine. (i think its worth every penny) but some jsut want something that holds pots. and thats a bit steep.
have a look at other peoples kit, try it on, and see what you think.

With no bias at all........(cough)
I fully recommend the Extreme Rage Bullet packs - we have just moved to them and they are the only packs I have played in that never move when you're running and diving (not that I run much - one of my front players told me that!). Good build quality and some nice features (only pack with loops that hold your pot lids shut!)

Used 3 types lately....
Jacko (my usual) = meh, its ok, not great... does its job but is quite tight on pots unless they are WDP Fat Boys which are just the right size.
Dye = My new pack, really comfy but the belt is *ahem* a little small for my liking..... all pots fit fine.
Extreme rage = tried one this weekend and it was super comfy. Didnt use it in a game situation tho....

jacko - Comfortable, Never moves for me, Easy to grab a pot out while playing
Dye- Comfortable (especially with the cushion at the back), Easy to grab a pot out while playing, Sometimes its moves while playing
More less the same qualities
Dye is a bit more comfortable but moves more than Jacko Pack...

Dye Packs
Dye packs are the daddies of all packs. They're super comfy and they hold you paint as secure as any other pack I've tried.
