Top box. It's legal to filter forward where I live, and while side bags definitely look better IMO, they add to the overall width of the bike, which makes filtering much harder.

As it stands now, if I can get my mirrors past two cars, I can get through. If I had side bags, I would be able to tell until after i get stuck.
