I prefer backpack, but I've done rope in a bag off the saddle, no big deal, reminds me of my old army days wearing 84 pattern webbing with gas mask sack when Saddam was gonna gas the world.
I just clip the free hanging rope legs in a biner on the back of my saddle when chunking down a spar. On very very rare occasions (like unobservant and uncaring ground crew or a dense canopy/ extremely pitchy tree) I'll have the rope in a backpack, used as a bailout backup and not climbing off it.
IMHO srt solves a lot of problems, use a suitable PSP for my main HH line, use a second climb line DdRT to pull myself up/out to a difficult spot, redirect the single line, and get to work.
