If you want something that is BIFL, it needs to be stainless, cast iron, or carbon steel, without any sort of coating. Ceramic coatings can tend to have an even shorter service life than PTFE (Teflon) and, like PTFE, eventually lose their nonstick properties and will need to be replaced.

Of the ceramic offerings, the products offered by OXO are generally considered to be pretty good. However, even if you use the right utensils, store it properly, only use it with low and medium-low heat, and clean it carefully, it's realistic lifespan is a handful of years, compared to the multiple decades that carbon steel, cast iron, and stainless can last for.

I have PIAA on my daily driver for 5 years now and they still wipe very clean.

For the first year or two, the silicone made a Rain-X effect (water repels off the windshield). It does not do that anymore but they still wipe great.

Goodyear Welted is in the webpage, this is BIFL. That pricepoint liekly means they are bottom tier. You should research a topic rather than conclusion shop as you will learn more and not have to ask questions.

Scanpan is probably the best non stick out there, but really if you aren't buying carbon steel, stainless or cast iron, it's going to end up in the landfill after a few years. If you don't like the weight of cast iron, buy an old Griswold or some of the newer cottage makers, a lot lighter than the Lodge most people know. I tend to use stainless for my pots and CS or my skillets because I also got sick of cookware ending up in the trash .

I have second hand docs which I believe to be made in the last 10 or less years. I love them and the quality is great. They were pre-loved and I have had them for 6 years and wear them multiple times a week. They’ve held up great. I just bought a new pair recently but can’t comment on the quality of those yet. I have heard that the quality had gone down tho since manufacturing moved to china :(
