The bag really depends where you want to put the stress on your body. The '82 Pattern rucksack has the pack and valice hung lower (putting stress on your waist and hips) while the '64 Pattern rucksack tends to ride the weight higher (thus putting the stress on your shoulders).

Personally I'd take a '64 bag (it's rubberized interior means it's windproof and water resistant) with '82 straps (the quick-release setup is always a gem).
