Wheels and handles take up a surprising amount of the limited space
in a carry-on size bag. It's a trade off to consider carfully.
I've been a number of places where wheels weren't much good due to
the condition of the ground/floor.

If you don't get wheels, look for a bag that has or can accomodate
a shoulder strap. Makes carying easier without sacrificing space.

I also travel with a small back pack -- a "day bag" -- in addition
to my "carry-on"
