What are your "must haves"?

Depends on how much you need engraved. You have 5 or 6 lines to use and I'd think they'd engrave just about anything you wanted. I'd give them a call. I had all of my allergy info engraved on mine. I don't see why they couldn't put your MedicAlert info on there.

I was wondering about copyright or similar issues....b/c MedicAlert is a subscription service. I've heard at least one other organizations that won't engrave their info. Spacewise, I don't think it would be an issue.

In my seat pack where I don't have to think about it:

*Multi-tool including chain tool. It's much more of a tool than I need for the short rides around the perimeter of town, but once I get out into the boonies, it's reassuring to have it "just in case."
*Spare tube
*CO2 inflater with two cartridges
*Tire levers
*Epi-Pen
*small lock
*patch kit

Mounted on my bike:

*Mini-pump
*Two bottles of water
*Garmin GPS. If I didn't have that, I'd carry a map. Sometimes I have a map too, anyway.

In my pocket:

*Phone
*Small jar of chamois cream
*Magnifying glass or reading glasses
*In a ziploc bag that stays together all the time, the following:

*Driver's license
*Insurance card
*Organ donor card
*Credit or debit card
*At least $20 cash
*Annual National Park pass
*Bicycling club membership card

Dang, sounds like a lot, doesn't it. It really doesn't seem like it (except for the multi-tool, which weighs a TON, but like I said, it's reassuring to have).
