It depends how much stuff you want to carry around :) I used a Swissgear Wenger "straight" backpack for some years, I'm pretty sure it was an Ibex - http://www.wengerna.com/ibex-computer-backpack-12358 and I couldn't fault it. Then I messed up my ankle last October and carrying weight was a problem... and then I had to do some travelling, so I needed some wheels at short notice. I picked up a Targus TSB75001US ( http://tinyurl.com/lafxqtn ) from Staples and burned some 'points' of some description for less than MSRP. For day to day use it's been just fine and rolls around very nicely; works for a 15" laptop has a few pockets. Not a place I would have thought of looking for a backpack, but I was in IKEA the other day and saw their offerings. This one - http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/50236454/ is a rollerbag/backpack with a detachable "mini" backpack that looks like it would do really well as a carryon bag; very reminiscent of an Eagle Creek backpack (without wheels) I had for some years that did trojan service until the lining spontaneously started to degrade into a sticky texture. IKEA had some other offerings, they look to be pretty sturdy at reasonable prices. Worth checking out if you have a store nearby, I think.
