I prefer hardcases. People will sit things on top of a gigbag--heavy things, like pedalboard cases, and assume that the guitar is "safe" becase it's wrapped up in some nylon and foam. I'm always worried about the fretboard being knocked by something so the strings dent the frets, which happened to me twice back in my gigbag days. I've never had anything happend to a guitar in a hardcase. If you're going to be walking around and have to carry the guitar with you, I prefer the molded Fender type case from the 80's and 90's with a padded grip added to the handle. Those cases aren't very heavy (the classic wooden rectangle ones look great, but weigh too much to haul by hand) but provide all the protection you'll need.
