I can only tell you of my experience. I have had an Antler soft case for… I’m not even sure how long. 14 years? I’ve travelled a fair bit with it and never had any sort of issue with it. It can expand a bit which is nice. My only advice I ever give anyone is get something with 4 good wheels. 2 wheeled luggage is dumb.
I have a small hard case (it’s like a strand bags rip off of a Samsonite). It is smallish, hard shell, unique colour, has an expansion zip, combo lock and can be wheeled on four wheels or two. Have taken it all over the world and it’s awesome. I would go hard case everytime.
Suitcase preferences wanted. Soft-case or hard case and why?

How much do you travel? Op shops often have plenty of serviceable suitcases.

Light weight. Unless I’m going through Heathrow then something tough.
