That being said, I have used these for taking on car trips and similar where they wont be handled rough and they will work fine. Just dont be surprised if you see the seams or parts breaking after a few trips.

Which brand would you suggest based on your experience?
did you have any issues with the cabin bag during international travel?
I travelled via Emirates and didn't have any issues. Each airline has different specs. I would check with the airline website you are traveling.
I don't know what people do or how they travel (or what the quality of bags produced today is) that they only last like 3 trips.

This will drop to 75$ once supply chain issues are fixed.
Shipping to and from repair shop are included or not?
A hard side is usually yes or no whether or not they'll fit. A soft side has some negotiation including taking a few things out and stuffing them into a void that wasn't going to be used anyways.
It's true that a hardside has some better durability depending on use cases. On a cruise for example, where everything is stacked on top of each other in the cargo hold, a hard shell will more likely protect your things and come out ok. International flights as well.
If you end up doing car travel often, a soft side has some decent advantages, but those advantages can be replicated by a wheeled duffel bag and those are fairly inexpensive and don't need near mythical levels of durability to be useful, so imo, a hardsided set like the samsonite on sale at amazon [amazon.com] for international flights/cruises and a cheaper set of rolling duffels for domestic/car trips will keep both lasting longer.

One trip in Qatar airways and my brand new American Tourister Hard side luggage cracked up.
Hard sided get cracked almost immediately if you check them.
