As a Medic with 2 tours to the Middle East and an EMT, I can assure you that building your own is always better than buying a pre-made always overpriced pack/bag.
I got to keep my Aid Bag after I finished serving. All soldiers are trained as Combat Life Savers and each platoon (depending on unit) would have 1 or more of these: https://www.amazon.com/Explorer-Medical-First-Duffle-Olive/dp/B00JYXZ4VO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1466110584&sr=8-2&keywords=Combat+Medic+aid+bag

My Aid Bag is much bigger and my loadout weighed at least 30lbs. Items: Bandaids, guaze (various sizes), triple antibiotic ointment, iodine, foldable splints, IV fluids (3 kinds), IV kits, BP cuff, stethescope, suture kits, bag of various medicines/painkillers, tourniquets, Israeli bandages, Quickclot, etc.
Unfortunately, I don't have half of what I'd like in my bag. It can get quite expensive to fill up one. However, a prepper should (most of the time) only carry items that he/she knows how to use effectively and under pressure. Having drugs and items you can't use effectively takes up space and adds weight.
Those cheap plastic box First Aid kits? Worthless above anything other than a cut, scrape, bug bite or small burn. You can EASILY make your own. You need a good quality bag (nothing huge like what I have) and plenty of places to get medical supplies cheaper than large chain grocery/health stores unlike Publix or Rite Aid.
