Most Durable Kitchen Sink?

[Jimmy Watson]

Quick question BP Nation.... What's the most durable type of sink best for a future rental? And what thickness should it be? What price range? I'm torn between Stainless Steel and Black Granite Composite. Any advice will be appreciated! P.S. has to be overmount, and it's going on a brown granite countertop

I've always used stainless sinks because they're simple/nice looking/cheap. For thickness you want to go with with either 18g which is considered a good standard, or 16g if you want a really nice quality feel. Dont go with 20g thickness (lower number is thicker, for example, 18g is thicker than 20g). For a really good look, spend a few extra dollars and get a squared off stainless sink; something like this

I've heard of granite composites cracking and chipping after only a couple years.
