The biggest bag AA gives their flight attendants is 23" long (including the wheels),10" high (at overstuffed capacity, without unzipping the extra zipper that makes it even higher), and is 14 1/2" wide.
That is the maximum sized bag you can buy to make sure it fits top side on any plane that AA flies.</font>
I have this size bag, as TravelPro makes it, and I love that it fits wheels first (sometimes referred to as "vertical" by some of the FA's on my flights) in the aircraft with the updated bins.
It fits everything AA flies, as AAFA stated. (Edited to add more information.)
That is, it fits everything I've flown to date except the ex-TWA MD-80's. I had to gate-check it for the flight I was on a few weeks ago.
It also doesn't fit any of the Eagle RJ's, or in the sizing apparatus at the gate (but that template needs to be changed, since IMO, they're using older dimensions for it).
