I've found that a Bag is steadier, but less convenient. (I'm still getting my head around the image of competitors running around with bags strapped to their rifles). From a bench, I don't think there is any question about which would offer the best groups, but this is not a good field situation, in my experience. If you practice enough with a bipod, you can get very respectable accuracy and precision. I have encountered plenty of scenarios where a bag was just not practical, but I've seldom found one where a bipod couldn't be employed.
I also agree with the practice of loading the bipod, as I've found that it reduces hopping and helps enforce a consistent approach to each shot. I have several Harris's, and they all respond well to loading, in my experience.
Just my .02
