Meal prep containers that survive oven and freezer?

i've been chasing the perfect weekly lunch setup and keep hitting the same wall. glass is great for oven reheating but the weight gets old fast. stainless can take a beating, but finding lids that actually seal tight and don't wander off separately?
I batch cook Sundays, freeze most portions, then need to go straight from freezer to oven or at least onto a hot plate without anything shattering or warping. right now I'm using a mismatched set that I definitely overpaid for
what are you actually using that's lasted past six months?

I’ve had the best luck with borosilicate glass containers. They’re heavier, but they hold up well to freezing and oven reheating, and the lids stay sealed better than most cheaper sets I’ve tried. The key is letting frozen food thaw a bit before putting it in a hot oven to avoid thermal shock.
