One of the ones that fall into the latter category are the 5.11 TacLite Pro series of pants.
A lot of folks don't like how 5.11's fit but I actually am partial to it. One note of caution, my jean size is NOT my 5.11 size (36 Jeans, 38 in 5.11's) so keep that in mind if you decide to order some but I've heard folks say the other way too.
With 8 pockets, there's no shortage of places to carry stuff in the TacLite Pro.
Also, if I carry a knife on my ankle (or a small backup gun) there's enough "give" in the cut of the cuff to make drawing it as easy as an ankle draw can be.
