It appears that the major USA carriers are starting to take a page from the Ryan Air playbook. They are allowing only one piece of checked baggage - the second piece will now cost an extra twenty-five bucks. If you check three pieces, that bumps up to $125 total. So that means you should get the biggest bag possible, and jam everything in there, right? Probably not. If your bag exceeds 62 linear inches (lenght + width + height), then they'll charge you another $100. The best option for your one big checked bag are the Eagle Creek Tarmac 28 (60 linear inches), the Victorinox Mobilizer 27 (60.25), or the Eagle Creek ORV Trunk 30, which squeaks by at 61 linear inches.
Or, really, maybe you just don't need all that crap. You could do like I do, and just go carry-on. One 22 inch rolling bag, and one daybag/briefcase. Voila. Light, mobile, and you don't have to worry about all the extra charges, fees, etc.
