Need some new luggage for travel: suggestions please

I need a carry on bag for airline travel this summer. I’m not interested in checking luggage for it to be lost.
What do you regular travelers use. ?

Hard sided?

Soft sided?

Wheels or not?

brands or design you recommend I appreciate your feedback.

We have two hard sided carry on bags with wheels that turn 360* and a handle that pulls up. I don't recall the brand, but they were not expensive.

I use a soft sided Ogio that is just big enough for one weeks worth of clothes and it houses my laptop, mouse, and power supply…notebook, pens, and corp phone too.. Wheels and a telescoping handle is a must if you find yourself running through the AP to catch your next flight. Soft sides are easier to squeeze into the overhead when the jack wagon 4 isles away decides to occupy the overhead space above your isle…you know who you are.

I’ve got a Sitka Drifter and it has been a great piece of gear for me

Soft sided allows you to cram your bag in the overhead space when space is at a premium hard side usually have wheels for easier travel to and from gates. I prefer soft side because of the occasional flight on smaller planes that have smaller overhead bins.
