sleeping bag confusion

|
hi all and thanks for all the helpful suggestions for my upcoming trek to the annapurna sanctuary...it's approaching fast and i'm really looking forward to returning to nepal
i have been procrastinating about buying a sleeping bag, doing a bit of reading about what to look for and inevitably am a bit confused; so i was hoping for some further experience from the yetizone bulletin board. so here goes...for a 10 day trek from mid-September, what sort of rating should i go for? down or synthetic? i don't plan to carry my pack this time but i do want to use the sleeping bag more than once (i'm toward the "trekking as a hobby" end of the spectrum so i don't expect to be doing anything extreme but future trips to nepal and south america for sure) so how concerned should i be about the weight?
i guess there are a lot of "it depends" in answering this question but if anyone has a ready answer for "i've had this type of sleeping bag for years and it's just fine" i would really appreciate your thoughts
