As you've seen from the replies, many people prefer backpack style bags, but I've taken the more traditional route with the LowePro Pro Roller 1, which just fits inside the airline carryon size limitt:

The insert is removable and will fit into a Pelican case when you need a hard bodied case, and the shell is a standard size carry-on bag if you need a spare suitcase. there are straps for tripods on either side (after you arrive) , and it's a standard looking extendable-handle rolling bag. It suited me very well for my last trip to Yellowstone (no hiking).
