All depends on your needs I suppose. For long haul cargo where someone may be on the road for a couple weeks, many people carry a 22" size bag, a few clothes or whatever, and do laundry once or twice while they are gone. Others carry a 25" (or 26" if it is Luggage Works), more clothes or whatever, and either don't do laundry at all or maybe only once. Still others carry a full size bag like a 30" bag. For regional flying I would expect a 22" bag is perfectly fine but it's all personal preference. Keep in mind that the website says the 22" bag is full "FAA legal" as far as fitting in the overhead bins, while the 25" bag is not, even though it may fit in many bins depending on the aircraft and the version of that aircraft (but will always fit sideways of course).

I’m considering buying the “Ricardo Flight Essentials Carry-On” to replace my Luggage Works Steal 22 I’ve had for years. Any feedback/review for anyone who’s purchased the Ricardo Carry-On would be greatly appreciated. I know it’s a fairly new luggage brand on Crew Outfitters.

Thanks in advance.

Another plug for this, especially if you might have a 737 in your future. If you don't expect to fly a guppy and want more volume they have a larger version with more pouches.

Four years going strong, just replacing the wheels now ($25 modular part). Pro tip: if you want to save the wheels, back your suitcase down curbs instead of just pulling it over and letting it drop (I'm too lazy).

Would you describe the Dark Sky versions as "black" in person?
