A thing to think about is the gauge of the stainless steel. A lower gauge signifies thicker steel, which is more resistant to dents and dings. So, if durability is a leading priority, look for sinks with a lower gauge.
And don't forget about installation! Make sure to hire a professional or follow the manufacturer's instructions very carefully to ensure a proper suit and seal. A well-installed sink will carry out better and last longer in the long run.
Thanks a lot for the advice, everyone! I feel a lot more prepared to prepare an informed decision now. It's great to get this community to turn to for help and insights.
