I don't travel with my guitars much but I do have a hard case, a heavily padded case, and a lightweight gig bag. Three bags for three different guitars. The hard case is an SKB that I have for my LP. Its an Epiphone costing $700 at the time, the $80 on the case is like an insurance policy. I wouldn't buy an $80 case for a $180 guitar. (US dollars)
Just like auto insurance. You'll take care of your guitar but you can't predict what is going to happen out there in the real world with people much more careless than you are.
Just my 2 cents.
