Do you have glass food storage containers that you like? I recently bought this (https://www.samsclub.com/sams/24pc-glass-food-strg-member-s-mark/prod21364166.ip) Glasslock set at Sam's Club and I don't love it. I did see some mixed reviews, and I am having trouble sealing all four clips on some of the containers. I am thinking about returning it but I really want to switch over to glass and get rid of our plastic storage containers.
This (https://www.kohls.com/product/prd-1619163/snapware-total-solution-pyrex-10-pc-food-storage-set.jsp?prdPV=4) snapware/Pyrex set at Kohls gets great reviews but it's a small set and much more expensive than the set I bought at Sam's.
I have a bunch of regular-lidded (non-snap) Pyrex and those lids aren't great like they used to be. They stretch or crack way too soon.
I also have some Ziploc VersaGlass containers and the lid is way nicer. I reach for them first.
Naturally, it appears they are out of circulation! https://www.walmart.com/ip/Ziploc-Glass-Container-Variety-Pack-3-Ct/15819201
I don't like the snap lids, personally, I feel like they will fail somehow sooner or later. (Crack at the seam, etc.)
Maybe these by Anchor Hocking? (No personal knowledge, they just showed up when I searched for the Ziploc ones).

I have these Rubbermaid ones that I like a lot. No issues with the lids. They also nest for storage (I have 2 large ones for leftovers).

Those look nice! I like that they are stackable. Most of mine are not stackable.....

We've had these for about 4 years and love them. They hold up very well (freeze, dishwasher, etc). I also have the pyrex and don't like them as much but they are still good. The Duralex is also nice because they nest so well -- even if you have 2 or more of the same size they stack well. I got them at a speciality local kitchen store.

I have 3 from pampered chef that I really like
I just use the Pryex ones with regular lids. In general I haven't had a problem with them. I've had a few covers crack but you can get replacement covers at the Corning outlet.

I have a circle one of the Pyrex snap ware that I bought at Walmart (http://www.pyrexware.com/total-solution-pyrex-glass-food-storage-4-cup-round/1109306.html#q=Glass+snapware&prefn1=img_shape&prefv1=round&start=4)and I like it a lot. It look like the 4 cup one is the largest and I would love some lids like the snapware lids for my Pyrex mixing bowls.

I have a bunch of pyrex snapware that I got at costco. It's not too bad even at full price and it seems to go on sale pretty frequently. It works well - seals very tightly and fairly easily - and they have a lifetime warranty on the lids, which I didn't even realize until I emailed them asking how I could buy a replacement (one broke 100% my fault) and they sent me a whole new container instead. The lids are also interchangable with the plastic snapware, if you wanted to use plastic for some storage - I don't have any of those.
The lids are kind of huge to stove with the wings sticking out but I keep them in a container store multipurpose bin which works well.
Adding, this looks like a nice set too but no personal experience - https://www.costco.com/Duralex-Lys-Square-Glass-Storage-Bowls-wLid---Set-of-6.product.100217689.html

I have the Pyrex Snapware as well. I just have the rectangles and squares and they do nest. Mine are from Meijer on sale so I only got the shapes I wanted. I've not had any trouble with the lids. Storing them is a bit of a pain, but I have them in another container and flip to the size I want.

I get all of mine at Homegoods. They usually have a great selection and the prices are excellent.

We have the snapware from Costco as well. They work well for our purposes. I bought a second set and when I got home one of the lids was cracked. Like a previous poster, I contacted Pyrex to find out where I could just buy a replacement lid (figuring gas back and forth to Costco was just as much $) and they sent me an entire new container w/lid, no charge.
