"Gun Tests" reviewed and tested a large array of gun cases. They looked at many features, but perhaps the most revealing was the light bulb test. They put 48" fluorescent light tubes inside each case and drove over them with a pickup truck. No case scored 100% success in this test, but SKB two-gun cases were the best. They also scored highest in the water exclusion test, followed by Pelican. Another test that was interesting was the one testing resistance to unauthorized entry. If you can pull a corner of a locked case up and reach inside, you can probably remove the firearm. SKB did very well in this area also.

I now have one-gun and a two-gun SKB cases. The two-gun case places the guns one above the other, like bunk beds. It is more compact, and less likely to allow the guns to shift and touch each other. Interestingly, SKB cases are the most affordable of the high-quality cases ($100/one gun, $200/two guns). They also guarantee the cases and insure the contents for $1500.
