Always soft !!
Most people who have done some proper overlanding travel will start off with cheap soft bags. They will then buy expensive aluminium boxes out of peer pressure and then when these expensive boxes start falling apart and turn your bike into something resembling an ocean liner, they wise up and go back to QUALITY soft bags !!
As for plastic.. Second best ! They take abuse much better than aluminium (they flex) but you won't look as cool as the 1200Gs/touratech underpants brigade
Done to death on this forum mate. Use the search function and you could spend the next 3 months reading threads on this subject.
