I would say you need to take into account your hunting style. The packs from Stone Glacier(SG) and EXO are likely the most compact and light when you break them down to day hunt mode. If you intend to carry your whole camp on your back the whole time, you should put the Kifaru in the mix for conversation anyway.
Some other options to consider:
1. Do you want to use a load shelf or a big bag and put the meat in a dry bag. Either one gets the job done. It seems to be personal preference.
2. Do you want the option to change out bags or go without and use a load sling. The higher end packs all have interchangeable bags.
I have a SG Solo which is bare bones with few pockets. I am setting it up with a lid, and that will allow me to easily go for 5 days. I think the Eberly packs are good to get the job done, but they are not as good at compressing down for hunt mode or carrying heavy loads as the higher end packs. Cost seems to be relative to performance when it comes to packs.
