Cookware

Finally - a non baby post. 

James and I want to buy new cookware.  I got a set of Calphalon before we got married and James had some pieces as well.  Given that we had plenty when we combined kitchens, we didn't register for new cookware (mistake I think).  We've now decided that we need new cookware for a couple reasons.  1 - all the cookware we have now is non-stick.  I don't really think we need a bunch of non-stick pans.  We cook with olive oil or other fat anyway, so its probably overkill.  2 - the non-stick part of our pans is peeling off.  Not good given all the "carcinogens" that are supposedly in the non-stick stuff.  (or at least that is what everyone used to think)

So, we're shopping for new pans.  Over Christmas we looked at some at William-Sonoma and have somewhat decided we like these.

from www.williamsonoma.com 

These are the Stainless Steel d5 line.  W-S has a decent sale on them right now.  Reviews look pretty good.  I figured we could also buy 1 non stick fry pan.

But then I checked Consumer Reports.  This line isn't rated but 2 other All Clad lines are rated and are at the bottle of the list. 

So, do we listen to the reviews on w-s OR go with Consumer Reports and keep searching?
What cookware are you using?  Do you like it?  Any suggestions?

Thanks!
