One thing I find I really like is a stiff bag so it can stand on its own. If the bag collapses on itself, the yarn doesn't flow as nicely. I currently use a felted bag I made and then ziplocs for notions, etc.
The only disadvantage to this is that it doesn't close so I usually keep this bag at home. If I knit at the doctor's office, I usually try to take a bag that closes at the top or just use my backpack or something.
I have a Namaste bag, but I find it too big for most of my projects so it is basically my needle storage bag.
