All I'll add is that if you want long lasting, then non stick is probably best avoided. I've had a few Tefal and Circulon stuff and even the 'Guaranteed lifetime non stick and they don't last, even if you do keep them away from the dishwasher. I think you might want a decent set of copper pans?
This is perhaps the most un-PH post I have ever made, but 20 years ago when I was, let's say, newly single, I bought a set of 4 stainless steel pans from Wilko. They have survived having both of my teenage/early 20s boys living with me (and cooking for themselves) for a while and are still going very strong today, in daily use. There's absolutely nothing wrong with them at all.
I think the set cost me £15.....

5 years ago when we bought our first house, I went out to Sainsbury's and bought a 3 peice copper saucepan set. They've lasted with heavy use, including the wife not knowing how to boil and egg, left the pan on full blast on the hob, burned the pan dry and the egg started popping.
So if they can withstand that, they can withstand anything. And I think they still sell them too!

Buy a complete set of Le Creuset
Hang them up for all to see.
Buy a set of Stainless pans from Ikea/Wilkinsons which will last 15 - 20 years. Keep them in a cupboard when not in use. Use Steel Wool to clean any burns.

Le Creuset is over priced low tech tat for the same folk who like an AGA and Elizabeth David cook books.
All ours are either cracked, lost their enamel (acid fruits do it) or are quietly rusting in the cupboard.
Hateful things.

I'm looking for new pans and think I'm going to go with British made:
