Magnetic is much better than strapon.  As far as tank bags go, that is.  The strap-on bags shift more.

Do a search for Tank Bag and you'll find everyone's opinions on specific magnetic bags.

I find magnetic are the way to go. Most of them hold on pretty good. I've carried several cases of beer in mine as the heaviest object, and the bag didn't budge.

My ICON bag was the best thing ever, it had magnets and a strap thingy held a bunch of stuff and was great for a weekend trip or my daily commute. I say was though cause some bastard stole it from my house. Grrr.

I own the Joe Rocket Mantaray tank bag and like it. Holds strong.
