Coolers are great. I've used several over the years. The main issue is the seal. I do not like the ones that have plastic latches as plastic tends to become weaker with repeated use. I'd go for one with a metal latch. I'd also do a flashlight test at the store or immediately when I got home to make sure that there aren't air gaps.

I know one brother who has an amazing collection, amassed over years of collecting, that all sits in a stack of coolers.
Mark is right that the plastic hinges on typical Igloos are it's weakest link. However, there are metal replacement hinges available from Amazon, etc.
