I love my Claphalon pans.. I have a mix of the old Anodized, and the Commercial Nonstick pans. Also a few stainless All-Clad pans. I think its a real good investment to have a good set of pans. I refuse to pay full price for them though, there are often deals on Amazon or I have even found some in Marshalls/TJ Maxx.
They're thicker and heat more evenly than the thinner pots.. Even *I* cant mess stuff up with them.

I bought a Members Mark set from Sam's Club, anodized aluminum, eclipse non-stick coating, and their awesome. I've been using them for about a year now, and they still look brand new, I use them almost daily. I think the set cost about $150 but they perform like a $400 set.
Calphalon here. We do the cooking for all the major holidays. Will be adding more pieces to the set as we move into a new lakehome (which means more company, like every weekend).
All my fry pans are cast iron, they are simply the best. I got tired of eating the flakes of teflon with my eggs. The only drawback is hand washing them.
I just use what's available, however... I normally make homemade pizza for the family on Saturdays and my wife bought this Pampered Chef pizza stone that works really well.
