Any recommendations on decent suitcase brands?

I'm going on an international trip this summer and need a new large suitcase. Not looking for anything fancy, just durable. Probably in the $100-$150 range? I tend to spend more on carry-on bags because I use them a lot more, but the large one usually only get one trip per year.
Any tips on brands or good places to look are appreciated!

It isn't cheap, but it's one of those rare brands/products that once you try it, you'll end up wanting to replace all the other luggage you own with it. It's so worth the price.

Our basic hardside set was purchased at BJ's Wholesale 15+ years ago and is only now starting to delaminate. Can't find the name but they rebrand their items a lot.
We also picked up an older Ricardo soft-side piece for free (FB freebie group) and bought replacement wheels. Worth it considering the bag originally went for $150-200.

American Tourister and Samsonite are sister companies, so I have the exactly same design bag in the American Tourister Tribus. I can't tell you how many trips I've been on with them over the last 6+ years, long haul domestic and international.
Delsey also makes bags with these design elements as do a few other companies. I don't even look at brand or price anymore--if it has these elements, I know it's quality. Nothing else even compares.
