We got lucky (20 years ago) and bought a set of All-Clad clone stuff at Costco. Still have it.
We got the same thing a year or two ago and love it. Like Ken said, cleanup is easy. I was stumped by some discoloration until my wife told me about
Bar Keepers Friend.
Have a good amount of all-clad (3-ply) and love it. Handle angle identical to all the other cookware we have, so not an issue here. The key to making it semi-non-stick is to heat the pan, THEN put the oil on and cook at a slightly lower temp than before the oil went in.
Another vote for Barkeeps - great stuff - removes all discoloration.
We buy a set of teflon non-stick at Sam's (No Costco yet, but coming soon!) every other year about the time when the teflon flakes start to show up.
