Cameras always carry on. Lighting equipment is very light. The cheapest method is a 30" suitcase. Your collapsed lightstands will fit diagonally. The more sensitive pieces can be wrapped & stored in hard rubbermaid boxes, then placed in the suitcase. finally, pad the suitcase with costumes or a blanket for extra protection.
I've tried everything from pelican cases to hockey bags, and this just seems so simple. I never have to worry about oversized luggage, and everything arrives intact and without dents.
