Which is the best BifL investment? I've seen all 3 recommended
The Pyrex and Anchor Hocking lids look like they would break / warp easy. The GlassLock (and other brands) with the clips look like they may have an issue with chipping around the edges overtime.
What are your experiences? Any other recommendations I may have overlooked?

I would recommend OXO over Pyrex (and Anchor) because OXO uses borosilicate, which has drastically better thermal shock resistance than the strengthened soda lime glass used by Pyrex (on most of their consumer products), which has the potential to catastrophically fail when exposed to extreme temperature changes.
Additionally, the lid design OXO uses keeps food fresher as it obtains a better seal.
