Box for me, i hate using bags. Bags are poor at protecting Ferrets from the elements. The Ferret also stands a good chance of being crushed if you fall. I would rather except a broken rib from a box, rather than loose a Ferret. If your box is sturdy, then you have also got a seat 
I make my carring boxes from plastic drianage pipes, and put the doors on the ends. Very light weight, comfortable and a lot more water proof.

Bag. You can then carry your ferret inside your jacket - keeps the ferret warm and also invisible if you're trying to be discrete........ |

If you are on permission then definately a box, if not a bag. If you have to leg it, the poor devils get knocked about something cruel in a box, but which ever you use ferrets are hardy animals and will put up with most things, as you will no doubt know if you have ever had one backed up by a tough old buck. Over the years I have used both and I think its more down to what you are comfortable with than anything, as ferrets dont seem to mind either way.
