Honestly? The smallest backpack that can be used to haul what you need to haul. Anything from a regular backpack to something like a Chrome or Timbuk2 messenger bag. If you go with a messenger bag be sure you get one that has a cross strap, them sliding around on you is a PITA
I alternate between a Targus backpack when I need room/carry my laptop, to a fanny pack when I'm just carrying essentials. A spare tube and the means to fix or inflate in addition to tools for minor field repairs ARE essentials for a commuter also
