Generally quartz is a more popular choice right now. Especially because of all the white options and marblesque patterns. But there are some granites that are more exotic that are very nice and have the added benefit of being heat-proof and stain resistant. But do not choose a dated one. If you are not sure what that means, then go w quartz. The very best option is a quartzite. It’s natural stone, so you get the heat resistant benefit. But it’s usually the most expensive of the 3.
