I’d recommend stainless steel. Tried and true, can last forever. Most folks on here will recommend All Clad if you can swing it, as they have a lifetime warranty and are arguably the best quality for the money.

I recently bought an All Clad D3 set and am super happy with it so far. Cooks evenly, well balanced, easy enough to clean. And I don’t see a reason why it won’t last for life. I hope this helps.
