I know this has been discussed before, but what are the opinions of the best feed bag to install in a gooseneck trailer. I am considering getting the branded bags for the trailer but was wondering what feedback there may be on products such as Professional Choice, etc. Also, do these manufacturers supply the mounting hardware with the bags or do you have to make trips to the hardware store to get what you need? What have you found to be the more durable bags? I know some people prefer to use the hanging bags, which I now use, but am considering changing as it is easier to deal with built-ins.

My previous trailer had the corner feed/hay bags and while I did like them, I had 2 different horses (not mine) that must have been pawers as they put their foot through them.... I had a lot of sewing repairs to do and after that I took them out anytime I trailered someone else's horse.
They don't come with the rings that you need to attach to the walls in 3 places, plus you will probably need double clips to attach them. My latest trailer doesn't have the rings in place, and I've gotten used to hanging a hay bag and have no plans to spend more money to install rings.
