It depends on what you want - If you want solid - you want Quartz, not Granite. Depending on what type of Granite - you have to worry about scratches, etc. Also very expensive. Quartz is way more durable. HOWEVER, I will tell you to go with HD Laminate - it is Wonderful stuff and costs 1/3 of the other 2. And in 10 years, when Granite is out of style and people look at it like Harvest Gold and Avacado green carpet, you can replace it with something more stylish and not feel like you had to mortgage the future.
