Todd - the only time I lost food to a bear while hiking was when I was so tired (lazy) at the end of a long day that I failed to hang my food bag correctly - that was in North Central PA (and left me with a rather hungry walk out!) - but I've never felt the need to do more than dangle my stuff sack full of food from a tree.
If I was dealing with brown bears (larger, somewhat more dangerous) in an area where finding a tree to hang the food bag from was unlikely then I'd go for a hard container - but for the woods of PA I think it's a bit overkill.
