I went full-time carryon after an airline lost my checked bag on a business trip to Mexico 25 years ago. Once was enough and I’ve never looked back. On short trips it’s also very convenient to be able to walk off the plane and out of the airport. With some careful planning I can get through a two week trip.
Soft-sided expandable is the way to go, it will give you more flexibility. A 22” will work domestically and even internationally if you”re flying to and from the US on a major airline. Intra-Europe or Asia are another matter, for that you need a 20” or smaller.
Tumi are expensive but I’ve found them reliable, I have one I used for more than 10 years before I retired, averaging about 100k miles per year.
