I have tried all kinds of storage containers including the more expensive "specialty" ones.  I have found that if you can't readily see what is in the container it doesn't get used. I switched to glass and I won't go back to plastic.  Not only can I see what is in every container, they can go right into the microwave which means less dirty dishes. I end up throwing out very little food.  My husband likes the change because he is not "Mr. Kitchen" and these make it easier for him when he can  put the container right into the microwave and not have to be concerned if he will melt the plastic container. 

Pros: Can see what's stored in container, use in microwave, less wasted food, fewer dirty dishes
Cons: can chip or break,
