for traveling the weight of the tripod is probably one of the most important thing
guess your choice depends on the following:
- whats your budget for your new tripod?
- carbon is the best for low weight tripods, but expensive ofc
- whats the max weight you want to carry?
- do you want most stability?
if money is not a problem you should take a look on gitzo tripods, or feisol
otherwise, manfrotto isn't bad but still a bit heavy compared to others and check out if you prefere screw coupling or clap coupling on the tripod legs
about Sirui: haven't heard much about them so far but i will check it out
