I have the BAM cases that came with my Ref. 54 alto and tenor. The alto was purchased new in 2004 and the tenor in 2006. I have NEVER had a problem with the zippers.
Actually, the Selmer case is a BAM case. I do know the GL cases (through intense Googling), but have never actually seen one. Are they available in Europe?
I would actually love a simple tough case for my soprano, as I'm still using the Scratch-Easy™ case that came with it in 1972. I tried the Eastman below but it's very flimsy and has almost no padding inside.
I don't know about the GL cases. I have two BAM clarinet cases, one 10 years old, and one a few months old ... personally I have not had any zipper problems with either (yes, anecdotal evidence ...).
(Two cases for two clarinets ... the 10 years old case was also bought second hand by me, and is still in good condition)
I found one for alto but you'd better have €750 handy
