4 wheel vs 2 wheel suitcase (for check-in)

Our family needs a new BIG suitcase - I am after the biggest and lightest I can find - in the past we have always had 2 wheels but i have seen a lot of travellers at airports with 4 wheelers in recent years.
What concerns me is that the wheels themselves look small and also protrude from your bag (unlike the 2 wheel ones ) which makes me think they are more easily damaged by baggage handlers, and we will be using this on a lot of flights in the next year.
Are the 4 wheel ones the really better way to go?
