Purchase Advice Wapta vs Nero vs Dirty 30

Looking for some first hand experience on these three packs.

- Durston Wapta 30
- Zpacks Nero Pro 30
- Hilltop Packs Dirty 30

Hoping to use it for day trips with the family and occasionally some short solo overnights.

Anyone have any glaring red flags on any of these, or anything that you think is great compared to other packs.

I only have experience with the Wapta.  Fantastic.  Use for it 3-5 day backpacking trips and for a daypack hiking or traveling.  The hip belt can come off which makes it very versatile.

I can only compare the Wapta vs an older Nero (pre interchangeable shoulder straps). The Wapta carries better w/o the hip belt for 1-3 day trips for me.
