I have been searching for a practical size luggage that is allow me to hand carry into the airplane. Even some airline are not that strict as I have seen people carry 2 bag on the airplane but this is definitely not allowed on budget airline.
Well some people may say I am kiasu well maybe I am but I just want to have everything in a hand carry bag, my clothes and laptop so that I won't have to wait for the luggage when arrive and also it help to save some cost when travel via budget airline. Although, you may want to maximize the allowed cabin space but don't forget the bigger the bag you have the more weight you bag will be and it wont make sense as you are allow to have 7KG (or 1 or 2 KG more) but that also means you have to carry this 7KG behind your back.
So here is just some summary of allowed baggage size on the plane by some airline that I think I be using and maybe it will helps you too. I will pluck this info for economy flight only after all I don't have the luxury to travel in 1st class or business class and measurement is calculate when you back is standing up. Oh yeah, might as well add a little info for checked bag.

Pretty much most airline have about the same size and weight since most of them using the same airplane. This info may change from time to time by individual airline and I am not responsible to update the information. Use at your own RISK!
There are new airplane like the from Airbus and Boeing so I guess maybe the size may change?
