Whats the best cookware brand?

This a tricky situation because different brands make their pans to different quality. Expensive doesn't always mean they'll be good. It depends what you'll be cooking, i.e. slow cooked casserole/stew or just for boiling vegetables. My current pan set cost around £35 and they've lasted a long time. They're not a known brand and were bought from Argos, stainless steel with glass lids. However, I had to buy a more expensive non-stick frying pan because I don't like stainless steel frying pans.
