I like the Beluga bags a lot: they are pretty though. The fabric-type of material that coats up the plastic (vinyl?) makes the material durable. The old pyranha bags were feeling the same way, though stuff.
Gaia has only plastic and they are not so tough. Got refunded for an almost new one this summer that broke around the plug in an impossible to repair fashion.

I like the 2 Gaia bags I bought last spring and they are holding up fine. Millbrook Boats (
http://www.millbrookboats.com/) sells them- no sales tax!

bell has bright yellow ones....though mine both sprung bad leaks near the dump valves after around 6 months. i'm waiting for a call back to see if they are going to warranty them.

Yeah, I got light bags from Kaz. They might not be as light as my old Voyageurs, but Gaia Everlast bags have a surface that sheds water rather than soaking it up.

The Gaias don't have the "nozzle breaking" problem any more. The old bags had too short tubes, they're using longer ones made of better material now.
I use these bags the 4th season (~150 paddling days) and the hold up well.
If you have one of the broken ones, remove the rest of the welded nozzle and you can repair the airbag by attaching a ducky valve. Looks a little like the old pyranha bags then...
