I use a pair of webbing straps. They're infinitely adjustable. They cinch tight and hold tight. They're lightweight. They never pop loose and hit you in the face when you're lashing things down.
The only problem with nylon straps is that nylon stretches when it gets wet...significantly. Make sure you adjust them if you get caught in the rain. Bungees don't have that problem.
