It really is a metter of personal taste. I have always preferred the convenience of a side loading bag (Reunion Blues) vs. top loading (Altieri), although a 621 is small enough that it shouldn't make that much difference. I assume that the Reunion Blues bag for that you are looking at is cordura, not leather. I think the leather protects a little better but it is heavier.

One issue that some have mentioned with side loading bags is that if the zipper fails, the whole bag could open and drop your tuba out. With a top loading bag this can't happen. That said, the chances of this happening are very slim.
