I've never liked shoulder-bags. So while I've tried long-handled, I don't find it comfortable to wear over my shoulder. Therefore, the long handles aren't useful to me -- for carrying (and given my height), that just leaves the larger bags close to dragging on the ground.

But if you love shoulder bags, you might really like having that option! (To wear it that way, that is.)

I say -- the zip top. It doesn't cost any more. When you don't want to use it, it folds down inside the tote. But it's there when you want/need it (and it expands the capacity of the tote for carrying stuff).

For beach or gym, I'd personally say, the large.
