Is granite worth it in a rental?

Hey all! I have my first rental house under contract! The kitchen is gonna be an interesting one to figure out. There isn’t much counter space and we will have to add two cabinets on either side of the stove. My question is for types of counter tops to put in a rental. It’s in a market where rent is roughly 750-800 and homes from 80k-120k. Would it be worth it to put granite in the kitchen or is it better to go laminate? I’m concerned about durability and if we decide to resale I don’t want to have to redo the counter tops. Thanks!

Also, what are yalls thoughts on butcher block counter tops as far as durability as cost?
