As an inexpensive bag, they are good. Please note I said inexpensive. If you have an instrument that cost a lot of money and want to keep it in the best possible condition, you will spend more money on a gig bag. It also depends on how you want to load your horn. A small horn is easy to load from the top, the bigger ones from the side. The older you get the more you'll desire a side loader as it's easier to get the horn in and out.
The older Reunion Blues bags (I understand the Cronkite bags are similar?), and Altieri bags have been the ones used most often in the past. Dolly bags sound like they are good, the wait for delivery seems to be long.
Good luck with your search.
