(My comment is based off the assumption that you want a hiking backpack, live in the US, and form follows function here.)
Depends on how much you're willing to spend and how quickly you need it. ASAP? I haven't gone wrong with Osprey packs. I took the Exos 46 on a 50 mile, six day trip through the Wind River range in WY, loved it the whole time. If you want more room, try the Atmos 65. This one came with me 55.4 miles through Yellowstone. Both are phenomenal packs.
Assuming you are in the US and live within a reasonable driving distance to REI, I'll let you in on a secret. They have a "no questions asked" return policy, which leaves them with a fair stock of seconds they can't put back on the shelves. Once a season (or four times a year, however you want to think about it) they put all of this gear out and mark it all waaaaay down. We're talking 50% at least. All you need is an REI membership ($20 one time fee). I've got osprey packs for $20 because it was scuffed, $400 Arc'teryx jackets for $40 because the original owner didn't like the fit, etc.
I used a 65L Osprey Atmos for a month around Europe. My gf used the woman's version, 50L I think. It is a great multipurpose pack, and does not need to be packed completely full. Obviously pack as little as you can manage to live with. Minimize clothing by making sure they are versatile (for multiple outfits) and able to be layered. I recommend bringing a silk sleep sack for warmth and bedbug protection.
