Okay, the roll vs fold question is only a part of it. There's so much info out there it can make you crazy. But one thing I haven't seen answered is whether to pack one's suitcase assuming the case will spend its travel time standing up or laying down.
I used to always lay out the suitcase on the bed and start packing. Then i realized that as soon as I stood the bag up to load it into the car, gravity took over and the shoes that were on the bottom when the bag is laying down are now sliding down and crushing things as soon as I stand the bag up. That's just one example.
With wheels on so many bags now, it seems the more common way of life for a bag is vertical. So do you pack accordingly and stand the bag up as you pack?
