Definitely Anvil for gigging.  My Anvil case has extra dense foam on the 
endpieces to secure it in place when closed, and there is air space 
between the panel and the lid so it is amply protected.  Mine cost me 
$360, well worth it.  I have used Anvil cases for over twenty years with 
my vintage gear.  For a while I tried other brands (Hot Rod, Jan-al) but 
in the end I went back to Anvil.

Just call Anvil and ask for a distributor, then place the order for an 
"ATA case with recessed handles and latches for Alesis Andromeda" and 
you'll get the case I have.  And you get free stenciling from Anvil!

I just bought a Gator polymer case for my new 6-string bass and I think 
it is a much better case than SKB.  They can be fitted with recessed 
latches.  If they make a case for the Andromeda it'd be cheaper than 
Anvil, but I have no idea how protected the front panel would be.
