I've had some and I also use a two-piece Hollister.
It's been 6 months and I'm having an open reversal next Tuesday.

I am week 3 into my ileostomy and I'm on my second type of bag as the first kept coming away as my abdomen swelling reduced. I hadn't had any major leaks at that point.
I was fitted with a new bag system to try and at first it seemed a lot better until last night that is.
Woke up at 5am covered, the bag had given way (again at the same area). So will yet again look at another system come Monday but restless sleep until then.
So I echo your feelings of frustration, anger and sadness/depression.
