I bought a set of anodized aluminum pots & pats from Macy's two years ago... can't remember the brand, but found them to be crap just like the majority of most nonstick cookware.
The only one that's lasted well for 20 years was my cast iron skillet, which I inherited from my mom. It's not nonstick, but I've found it easier to clean because I can just throw anything at it and not worry about scratching it. I also understand it's basically impossible to get any mileage out of nonstick cookware because they will get scratched, even if you use the proper cleaning tools because it still picks up the food particle that can scratch and so forth.
I'm thinking that my next set will be cast iron...
