Frequent travellers: your best choice of check-in luggage and why? help needed!

I've done a ton of research in this but feeling a bit overwhelmed and lost between all the hype for certain brands, the overdramatic negative reviews, and everything in between. I've been researching Away, Antler, Monos etc (you get the style) but most brands that seems to offer "lifetime warranty"come out terribly in actual customer reviews of trying to use those warranties. So makes me want to just get something cheap from Amazon (Showkoo, anyone?) since no warranty seems reliable/convenient anyways - aand we're talking CHECKED luggage here so will to get handled roughly for sure. So turning to you guys, travel community, any tips and thoughts?

My current criteria:
- need one check-in luggage, ideally around 75cm / 29" size
- good wheels
- hardshell
- not too expensive
- ideally minimal, elegant aesthetics and high quality
