Default GSB vs Boss Bags

Which is better? I have a '07 Heritage Classic with the 14" passenger pillion. Cost not an issue. Will the lid supports allow me to open the bag enough with this wide passenger seat?

The passenger pillion on my Deluxe is 12" wide and I have Boss Bags 42s. The lid opens with the 12" seat. The lid only opens about half way when the armrests I fabricated are on the bike. That is OK with me because I installed the bags with Easy Brackets. I didn't want to have to open the bags to put them on and off, as has to be done with Boss Bags brackets. A friend has Boss Bags and their mounting system is very nice and solid it's just not what I wanted.
