Would also be interested on how you find the backpack straps on the Osprey in comparison to the Goruck since you don't use or like the hip belt. I have the 20L Rucker and the one thing I love about the Goruck is that with those straps, you don't need a hip belt for heavier loads. I really like the Osprey Porter but with a heavier load, I find the hip belt really helps for longer times on the back (though in all fairness, the Osprey carries almost 2x as much).
