For me, I don't like that the velcro strap will eventually leave wear marks on your seat post. Most bike shops line their bike stands with old inner tubes to keep from scratching the seat posts, and I personally wipe down both my seat post and inside of my bike stand clamps to make sure my seat post doesn't get scratched whenever I put a bike on it. I know more than one person who left their saddle bag on the bike for a long time, only to be bummed when they finally took it off and saw the telltale marks on the seat post. I will acknowledge though, that there are lots of people who couldn't care less about a marked up seat post.
