 Cast iron. It’s not a debate. 
 bought one last year, best thing I ever did 
 There is a reason for it. Cast iron takes longer to heat, and holds heat longer, is more evenly distributed, etc. 
 You can get a thick stainless steel pan which holds the heat just as long as cast iron, not those thin sheets of paper. Every type of pan has it's own purpose. 
 Agreed. But…

I acknowledge that Teflon is a shitcoin, but damn, they work so well. 
 Teflon is ok for eggs.meat needs cast iron
