Are these additional Canadian terms? :) If so, they belong on that other thread.

"Backback" and "wheelbarrel." :)

The rolling backpacks are not my style either, and I really don't like them. However, I only made it a week in nursing school with my over-the-shoulder regular backpack, before I caved in and bought a rolling backpack to give my aching back a break. It's ugly and it's awkward to maneuver in some places, but my back doesn't hurt, so I don't care!

Okay, so for those of you that use the roller backpacks...which would you suggest?

I bought a cheap one from Target. Regular price $20, but I found it clearanced for $11 after school started. It's lasted a year with no problems, it should last another year, I think.
