20" or 22" carry-on

I have taken some time to read through many of the recommendations in this forum and based on my situation I think I am most likely going with a Briggs & Riley wheeled carry-on (or maybe a Travel Pro).

I am trying to determine if I should go with a 20" or 22" carry-on upright. I have heard that the actual size of many bags are larger by 1-2". I would like to have the most space with a minimal amount of problems carrying my bag onto the plane.

A little more background on my situation ...

I have a new with boss whom I will be traveling with frequently (US, Europe, Russia) for lengths of 3-6 days. He insists on 2 things: 1) We must NEVER check bags 2) Whatever bag I use must have wheels

In the past I usually packed a larger bag that I could check. I chose this route because I am about 6'3", I wear a 54" inch coat and size 13 shoes, I have to wear suits and sport coats for meetings, and I prefer that my clothes not be trashed when I arrive. In addition to my clothing I always carry a briefcase with a laptop.

This will be a whole new world for me. I've already accepted the fact that I will not be able to pack my running shoes but I am starting to worry that I will be running out of space for my clothing and basics.

BTW. My boss is about 5'6" and 150 lbs. He will have no sympathy for my luggage problems.
