Polaroid 600 Film vs Multiple X-rays

I have 16 10-packs of Polaroid 600 film I want to carry to Cambodia. My routing is US-YVR-HKG-SIN-KUL-PNH, five potential exposures.

On a previous similar trip to the region, routing was US-BKK-HAN. BKK-HAN refused to handscreen. Of ~80 exposures, maybe five were bad. I don't know if that's from the x-ray or not.

I am considering a protective bag this time, but as my wife and I are carry-ons only, and it's a 24 day trip, I don't exactly want to schlep a lead vault around.

Price is also a consideration. I was looking at THIS, x2. Any experiences with same or similar?
