I’ve had the Oxo glass ones for about 7 years and they’ve been a no nonsense buy for me. Plastic lit has some scuffs and scratches but the gasket and glass look brand new.

Oxo smart seal are fantastic. They're borosilicate so they can stand up to thermal shock quite well and the lids/gaskets on them are very robust.

I have a set of 16 Glasslock, four Pyrex, and two OXO containers. We don't microwave any of the lids, so I can't speak to that, but we microwave the containers themselves. The Pyrex are the weakest of the bunch, to be honest. The containers are fine for thermal shock, and they nest (we have round ones) but they're nowhere near a tight enough seal for lunches, and the lids warp easily in the dishwasher. The OXO are our favorites. Big cushy gasket that's easy to remove and wash, sturdy containers, super tight seal, easy locking. We only have the really big ones in this size but if I were buying new ones I'd buy more of this brand. Con: I accidentally punctured a gasket on one, which is always a risk, and it was impossible to buy just a replacement gasket. I had to buy a whole new container. The Glasslock are a very solid option. They stack nicely for storage, I haven't broken one in 4-5 years, and they have a very solid seal. We regularly microwave them straight from the fridge, and sometimes we put them in the oven as well, and have had no issues. The only cons I have are a little nitpicky: the gaskets are thin (although they do the job well) and hard to get out, so it's easy to accidentally damage them when prying them out. Also, if you get any food on the gasket or rim, you have to fully wipe the whole gasket track or else some of the food might squish onto the outside when you open it. It's not a leak, but it's something to be careful of. Very minor annoyance, though, and they have worked great for us as our main storage set. Finally, the ears can be hard to lock down and require a shocking amount of grip strength if the lid isn't perfectly aligned. Both the OXO and the Glasslock can be dishwashed, and we regularly do, but we remove all gaskets before dishwashing and hand wash those. Lids go in the top rack of the dishwasher only and have yet to show any signs of aging. We will also frequently handwash the lids and gaskets, so they don't exclusively go in the dishwasher. If you're asking for a gasket that "won't get gross" without being removed from the lid for washing, I have no idea where to point you. The OXO ones are far and away the easiest to remove and reinstall the gasket, though.

Food Storage Containers
Glasslock or OXO Smart Seal have held up best for me. The lids actually stay tight after years and they don’t stain or warp like plastic. I’d skip stoneware since it’s too heavy and chips easily compared to tempered glass.

Modern alternatives to Tupperware?
I use OXO good grips glass smart seal. They are made of borosilicate glass so I can (and have) taken them from fridge to oven when I’m lazy. Their tops are plastic with a removable silicone gasket. The only thing I will say about them is that if you put hot food in them and transfer them straight to the fridge sometimes the condensation makes for a lid that’s nearly impossible to open when you take it out again. It just locks really tight.
