Ortlieb are pretty much the gold standard for this type of thing.

The ones with carrying straps are what you want - easier to carry when filled than the roll-top only ones. And if you sink, wear it and you'll float.

Dont even consider the Lowe Dryzone ones - I got one and its rubbish. Major design flaws and not convenient to use. Ortliebs wrapped around a normal bag is a much better solution.
