Softer films can be easier to use, but they are also easier to puncture, so it's a trade off. But you should not have to rely on the bag stretching to solve bridging, so I prefer to have a more rugged bag that you can push into the corners with as much force as you need and worry less about putting a hole in it.The film's that EC supply are a great option, they are relatively soft but but still quite tough.

I kinda disagree here as i had way more trouble with leaky bags with rigid films that then like to crease and when you push that crease around it can damage the film. Loved the strechlon 200 but didn't work with it for years now due to availability as well.

I have given them a fair amount of abuse and the only problem has been very sharp mould edges which are quickly solved with bagging tape.
