My only experience with duffels was when taking a temporary move to
Saudi Arabia. I needed, or so I thought, a lot of stuff. Air France had
overnight to make the transfer in Paris but missed. I concluded that
airlines don't give duffel bags much respect.

Two smaller bags would be better in any case. I use a wheeled 20" plus
a shoulder bag. Have a look at my luggage suggestions at
