Photography gear luggage?

What is the most durable luggage? Let's say you had to put your photography equipment with baggage on a airplane. What luggage could take the abuse, and take care of your photography equipment at the same time?

I have been very happy with the Thinktank bags. I have not checked anything through as baggage, and I would not do that without a real special-purpose bag. For general travel where you take the bag on the plane with you, the Thinktank rolling bags are great.

So you will put your camera gear down below with luggage in one of these?

Many times on smaller planes (regional jets) I have had to "gate check" my Think Tank roller ..... So it rides down below, but is not checked like the regular luggage. Never any problem ... it is waiting for me as I exit the plane. It comes with a great locking system, so that eliminates some worries as well. The padding inside the roller is very sturdy so it can handle bumps and thumps no problem. The Think Tank Security roller roller is within the mandatory size limits for domestic flights so it qualifies as a carry on for size .... be careful on the weight .... never let them weigh it if you pack it full like I do! Ha. The Think Tank International will qualify for overseas flights (it's a little bit smaller in size)
