Hi Lucy,

    I have used all types of sinks over the past 38 years and I have
    stuck with Stainless. 

    Find a thicker gage than the Home Depots carry because in our trade
    things will dent the bottom easily. We don't do dishes at the shop!
    One thing I would pay attention to is the type of drainage and type
    of piping you install, very-very important. 

    I have a trap that I can open if I drop a stone or loose one. I also
    use a small-small hot-water heater to keep the grease's cut and
    flowing. Use a mixer faucet (single lever-rotatable type) so it does
    not take two hands to get warm water or you may have some thing in
    one hand and need water-on. 

    Buy good equipment if you are planning on being in the business for
    the next 50 years!!!! That's my story and I'm stick-en to-it.
