Largest/cheapest checked baggage?
Will be moving soon and need a couple bags that can handle 70lbs and not fall apart during the one move. I see rolling duffel bags as a good option, but lots of cheap ones seem to have rather poor review on quality even for one move. Any suggestions? Thank you.

I'd say the Eagle Creek No Matter What line might be what you're looking for, either the L (30") or XL (36") sized, though the latter might not be accepted depending on the airline and the agent. That said, they're $140-$150/each which is a bit high for a minimalist rolling duffle (sewn-in pull handle, not solid/retractable), but they should hold up and have a lifetime No Matter What warranty.

A relative came to the US on a shopping trip and bought a couple of REI-brand duffels on clearance and absolutely loaded them up, as goods here are much cheaper than at home (even when paying overweight charges and customs tax). I would expect them to last at least one flight.

+1 on Eagle Creek No Matter What duffles.
Bombproof and lifetime warranty. Great design and great price. Fold up for easy storage. I have one in their previous incarnation (before they switched to coated material).
Why not get the version without wheels and rent a cart at the airport. Bags will weigh less and cost less that way? You aren't going to be wheeling them around town, right?

Biggest volume within 62" of dimensions would probably be something like these:
