I would go for the Mariposa plus. I really like to be able to carry a bear canister inside the pack and the Mariposa Plus is just big enough to carry all of my stuff plus the canister. If a bear canister was not an issue ie. not hiking in the sierra I would go with a smaller pack, quite possibly the gorilla.

if you had to get another Gossamer gear pack would it be the gorilla or the Mplus?

Unless you go early or late season a 30 degree bag is perfect

thanks for the review of your gear–I used a 30 degree bag on the JMT too and my only cold night was at the base of Forester Pass.
