they probably have the best lifetime warranty out there...
Briggs and Riley are
Briggs and Riley are fantastic. Travelpro does outstanding work. IIRC, there are alot of pilots that use TravelPro and Briggs and Riley for their cary ons.
I am partial to Tumi. My father had (key word being had)a tumi bag that lasted him for 20 years that I started to use. After being stopped at every airport I was went through during one trip abroad [8 different security check points, 8 different times being pulled over for a search, 3 nearly missed connections thanks to security on that trip], I handed in the bag and updated to a new edition of the same bag and a few other pieces. In the last 5 years, they have seen alot of travel and wear and are still running in top condition.

I got a Samsonite for Christmas and started this thread to see if it might be worth exchanging. Gift-giver said it was purchased at Costco which made me suspicious because some good brands sell lower quality products at Costco (i.e. Lucky Brand Jeans at Costco feel stiffer and are made in Mexico rather than U.S.).
I think my crappy Samsonite
I think my crappy Samsonite luggage is from Macy's on sale - not Costco. My biggest issues are durability (have had it for a year and it looks about ready to split in half) and the stupid 4 wheel "spinner" design (wheeling it on four wheels is really awkward, and it doesn't wheel as well on two wheels as normal luggage).

Make sure you get a piece of luggage that has a heavy base so that it doesn't fall over all the time while you let it stand by itself.
Thats a huge pet peeve of mine.

I actually just bought that one, so I guess it's going to suck over the long-term.

I have the following B&R model and love it:

It has an internal garment bag which is a bit cramped, but nice if you're traveling with a suit/jacket. There's also an attachable strap that let you clip a laptop bag (or whatever) to it. Of course you can also just slide the laptop bag down the handle, but it's much easier to schlep around with the clip since you don't have all the weight on the telescoping handle. Also try to find one that's internally expandable--it will give you extra room without having the poles sticking up and taking up space in the case.
I also have a Tumi laptop case which has seen a lot of use and is still going strong.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Tumi. It may be a bit pricey, but a Tumi laptop bag can last you easily through your consulting career.
If you want to "invest", I'd say go with Tumi laptop/carry-on luggage. You can beat the crap out of it and it'll still work very well.
If you want to find something more affordable and functional, Briggs Riley is good.
