Hard luggage suggestions

I currently use soft luggage, but thinking hard in order to satisfy needs for multi-months travels. Looking for suggestions: Stay with soft? (I use Giant Loop) or what brand of hard cases?

I saw the cheap Pelican mock ups from Bunnings and thought that was a decent option, but open to others.

I run Hepco&Becker alu panniers for years now and I'm very pleased with them. They survived two minor accidents(they even saved me from more injury!!). Together with the pannier frame, they fit perfectly on the Tenere and I think it's convenient they can be closed, an advantage over soft luggage. Anyway, it's all a matter of choice and priorities(and money ....).
Greetz, Hans.

I have a pair of aluminium Givi Trekker panniers and mounts and I find them excellent on my XTX, see http://www.givi.it/Valigie-laterali/Monokey-/dunno how much they cost down under.......

Y have the Giant Loop Great Bassin. Very happy with them for off road trips. But I would like to have some hard luggage as well for long trips.
They are easy to pack and unpack but also les vulnerable to thiefs...
These Barrett look nice!
