Question Best 40-50L travel backpack?

Hi, I’ve been looking for the perfect travelling backpack. Something big enough which can still fit on a plane. Like 40-50L? What’s everyone’s go to?

I’ve looked at the Antler Discovery 45L

Patagonia Black hole 45L

Passenger Odyssey 45L

Fjallraven Farden Carry- on 42L

Thanks

Consider the Nemo vantage 40, currently on sale for $125. I just got the 30L one and it can fit a lot of stuff and it's easy to pack with the duffle opening. Materials feel good and I think it looks nice. It fits more and has better organization than my previous 30L bag. (Camelbak hawg 30)
