Kitchen counter tops for rehab - latest trends?

[Account Closed]

Folks I need your help with a fairly important kitchen designing dilemma:

For a rather typical South Bay area SFR with a $1.2M-ish ARV, with white Shaker kitchen cabinets/stainless hardware & appliances, the color-du-jour grey "wood" flooring, similar but lighter toned walls, no wall paint in kitchen (narrow stacked stone backsplash)...............is a familiar, tried and true, "veiny" granite or a more uniformly colored quartz the more sought after countertop these days?? I would choose the granite, as the natural color variations add character, but what do I know? The kitchen is the standard U-shape, no island.

What say the active rehabbers?!?!   Thanks Much!!
