We're doing research for an article on countertop materials -- specifically the pros, cons, and differences in price. Any help this board can provide would be very appreciated.

Here are a few questions to help get the conversation going:

What's your favorite countertop material and why?

What countertop materials have you used in the past?

What did your countertop material cost you?

Thanks!
