Yes, eased edges do chip more easily, but if the chip is very small, it is easily repaired. If you are very concerned about chipping, then 1/4 round will be safer. A beveled edge will be slightly more susceptible to chips, but less so than an eased edge.

I think the danger of chipping is greater in the kitchen than in the bathroom, as you will not have heavy pots in the bathroom to bang into the counter like you would in the kitchen. A darker color will hide a repair better than a light color, and so you should be fine with eased edges in the bathroom. You might also consider quartz instead of granite for the bathroom.

I've only gotten one chip in my kitchen so far (with eased edges), and so I'm much more careful now.

I have eased in both kitchen (quartz) and bathroom (carrara) and no chips. I'm not overly ham-handed with heavy pots and pans. I personally prefer the look of eased and dislike bullnose quite a bit.

I like the 1/2 bullnose, we have that in our kitchen and it's held up well even with a heavy handed hubby. The one plus about it is that when you spill, the shape keeps the spill off of the cabinets.

We have eased in our master with a very slight bevel to it and I like it as well.

My old kitchen had bullnose (granite) that I hated. We replaced with eased ( soapstone) that I love. We also have eased in the master bath (Carrara).

Eased in my last kitchen for 10 years. Lots of use and no chips, also easy to clean. Current house came with beveled, definitely prefer eased.

We have granite with the eased edge in our kitchen and in 12 years it hasn't chipped anywhere. I didn't even know chips were more common with eased edges, but really don't care for the bullnose look (we also have shaker cabinets and think it would look especially incongruous) so it wouldn't have affected our decision. I'm a bit clumsy and have whacked many a pot and cast iron skillet on the edges while washing dishes, but so far it has held up to the abuse. I don't really know how our granite compares to the average when it comes to durability, but it's called costa esmeralda (blue-green with cream and white flecks and veining).
