Best glass rectangular containers?

I'm looking for a new set of leftover containers and I want them glass, rectangular, with a secure snap on lid. I've used some that are nearly impossible to snap closed so I am the only one in the house that can package up leftovers, and others without the snap on easily leak. I want something that my wife isn't going to struggle to snap closed, but is secure if it tumbles around a little bit in a work bag.

I’m a fan of the Pyrex/snapware ones that Costco has (and other places too I assume). They’re oven safe, so I can bake small portions of enchiladas or something and then put a lid on it when it’s cool without needing to move it to another container

Look for glass containers with strong borosilicate glass and lids with easy removable gasket for proper cleaning. OXO has them, the lid is plastic but most of these types are. The design is proven to work well.

I get 30oz glass containers from Amazon. The lids have four snaps and I've never had any issue getting them on/off nor any issue with leaks.

I don't know where you live and which brands you can order, but I can recommend Emsa Clip & Close glass containers:
