What luggage is the best? Prudy neat 22''vs26"

The best bag is the Costco $89 Kirkland special that does not weigh 40 pounds empty and break you on the purchase price. IMHO

The 22" is for FA's, or dudes with small clothes.

To each their own. However, your weight estimate is way off. My PNS 26 weighs 45 pounds after it's packed for a 16 day trip.

And yes, I pack enough underwear!:)

Mine is 22" and many times I can barely squeeze it into the overhead bin. ...and no, I don't have to sit on it in order to close it.

PS. - RJs are actually the best to ride on when it comes to carry-ons as the bag always ends up in the belly meaning I don't have to load it up myself. B737, A320 and MDs in particular are a very different story... :(

It fits in sideways.

On a full fight it can be hard to get enough overhead space for it, if you don't get on first. Then I usually get a "gate check" ticket (if I'm on mainline) or see if the FAs can stash it in the closet.
