We have had both. Quartz in our home in VA and now we have granite here in TV. We would have preferred to have granite here, but it was a spec home and we had no choice at the time. The quartz needs minimal maintenance and is very hard to chip or break. Granite on the other hand is very easy to chip and break and needs to be sealed periodocially. I have heard of granite having radon, but have never heard of quartz having radon before this thread. Also, the reason granite needs to be sealed is that it is pourous and the reason quartz doesn't is that it is not pourous.
