Ron, I don't use Gig Bags. Instead I use a rolling container that holds whatever cables I may need, usually Video and Extension Cables/Cords. For the speaker stands, there are the bags that hold two together each in a separate compartment. To help protect the ends of the bags I usually attach a tennis ball to the top of the speaker stand. Just cut a hole in the ball and before putting it in the bag slide the ball on the top. Sharp edges is what destroys most bags.
The Yellow & Black one from Lowes is what I use for Cables and cords exclusively. It is not really that big. The Big Black one from Container Store is what holds my Lighting Fixtures. The one from Wallmart holds my Karaoke books, Video cables, Laptop stand, Extension cords and other cables selected from the Black & Yellow container.
