get a hard case it may be more expansive but it is worth it not to hurt your drums it will pay off in the end

There is no advantage to soft cases other than price. If you are transporting the drums in your own vehicle and feel you can avoid them banging up against anything then soft cases will prevent minor scratches and stuff like that. My drums were always on a bus or truck with other heavy equipment so soft cases weren't even an option. Personally I would get hard cases unless you just plan to be really careful when moving them around. Good padded soft cases will prevent some blunt trauma but nothing close to what a hard case will.
