Each has got it's pros and cons mate
Rucksack is good for comfort on long walks but even the waterproof ones aren't that waterproof. I always found myself rummaging about in the bag looking for stuff. Oh and you can't sit on it...... You can get waterproof rucksack covers at camping or cycling shops.
The small boxes (like the daiwa one with the yellow top) are good for short walks. I use mine if I'm travelling light with one rod. You do need to keep your sinkers in the bottom rather than the tray or the whole thing falls over when you open it.
The beta box / breakaway back rest is my favourite. Reasonably comfortable when walking, loads of space, waterproof and makes a decent seat / baiting table. It is tempting to fill it up but as long as you're realistic about what you NEED to take with you it's fine.
It depends really what you need. Personally I'd go for the shakey box / back rest and a cheap (not necessarily fishing) rucksack for the occasional long hike.
Hope this helps...........

Think I'm gonna buy the shakespeare salt rucksack for the time being. It's alright for the beach too as I can hang it on the rod rest. May get a box at some point for the seat but I'm not too bothered standing to be honest.
They're canny bags mate. Would definitely get a rucksack cover (or thick poly bag) to put over it if it starts lashing down.

Shakespeare-Beta-Coarse-Fishing-Seat-Box-Blue-£28 On E-Bay.
Breakaway-Back-Rest-Seatbox-Conversion-Kit-BRAND-NEW £34.99.
I have the above for most of my fishing be it from shore or boat. Lovely comfy to sit on and waterproof.
For rock fishing a rucksack is better. I have a Salt rucksack but prefer to use smaller type. Got a camo one from Boyes for tenner. Ideal and water proof.
Probs is with bags and boxes is the bigger u get the more tackle and crap u take which u don,t need.
