Quartz fades in areas of sun exposure over time, Granite does not. Quartz chips easier than Granite. Quartz comes in more colors because it can be manufactured, but costs more than Granite.

I would suggest that you visit some of the new home open houses and look at the quartz. But, both quartz and granite make good countertops.
