>Anodized Aluminum
Please Anon STOP. Don't spend $160 on a single-layer aluminum cookset. They will get too hot too fast and won't hold their temperatures as long when you are introducing food onto them which will inhibit maillard reactions. You want to buy an all-clad design of 2 layers of stainless steel sandwiched between a layer of aluminum. The stainless steel portions add thickness and durability while moderating the heat transfer of the aluminum core from your cooking element and then evenly distributes it across the bottom and up the sides of your cooking vessel. The cheap designs currently available last I checked were the Tramontina Tri-ply & Cuisinart Multiclad Pro lines.

Cookware sets in general are a scam in that they tend to throw in a bunch of low quality "filler" pots and pans, where you really only need a few high-quality ones that you can piece-meal together for less. Basically a 12" skillet, a small sauce pan, dutch oven, and a non-stick pan is all you really need. Read these (especially the first one):
