The ultimate protection case would probably be the tank cases, but they're not all that easy to move. Marcus Bonna has a few, the regular tenor case, the super light case, and the compact case. I believe you can use backpack straps with all of them. Like /u/The_WhiteRhino said, the Eastman cases are also good. And of course ProTec's Contoured case is a favorite from where I'm from, and don't forget their backpack straps either! As you can see, hard cases have a somewhat hefty price tag, but it's worth it for the protection they offer.
I don't know about their gig bags, but I have a ProTec case that works really well for me. It is light and provides a lot of protection. The only issue I have (and everyone I know who also has this case) is the velcro on the handle is all messed up after using it for a while. I would definitely recommend it. (They also make gig bags.)
I owned one of the ProTec ProPac cases (https://smile.amazon.com/Protec-Tenor-Trombone-Contoured-Case/dp/B0006JDQR4/ref=sr_1_sc_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1526777912&sr=8-2-spell&keywords=protec%2Bpropac%2Btrombone&th=1). Technically you can fit a trombone stand inside of it but you have to not have the compartment zipped shut which is not so great for the zippers. They also weight quite a bit. But if the extra weight is worth it to carry the stand it might be an option. I'd lean towards the Bonna honestly but I also am not a huge fan of that style of case either.
I am not a trombone player, but I have the horn version of this case and it works well for me. It's about $108 Canadian dollars ($85 USD). This case is made by the same brand and costs about 255 CAD, and looks fancier, but you have to buy the backpack straps separately (about 20 CAD).
