Both my Travelpro and Atlantic have held up fairly well, and it won't break your bank. Check out the wheels, as well as the zippers, on whatever you buy. You want a bag that has wheels like they use on inline skates, as well as a bag with #10 zippers (the heavyweight zips) I would go with something 22 inch or below if you're not doing long trips and layovers, and then a smaller bag that you can piggyback on to your bag with wheels. Make sure that your main piece has a piggyback option, in the event that you want to strap a duffel, flightbag, or laptop to it when you're moving with your luggage.
