I've been around SE asia before backpacking it years ago. Seems like the new thing is to use something like eagle creek ORV trunk (rolling suitcase) which was given as a gift. Travel will include bouncing around from city/city, buses, trains, planes, taxi. Won't be doing any hardcore trekking this time. any suggestions? Thanks

Rolling luggage only works well on smooth flat surfaces.
backpack_ always…having your hands free at all times is the way to wander. you can strap a set of wheels ( a lightweight luggage dolly) to the pack if you ever need a change. 2nd hand stores are full of them.
