Any good quality stainless steel saucepan from a decent brand will last you a lifetime (in fact make sure it states lifetime guarantee). I have the Prestige Circulon and i have to say they are fantastic. One thing i will say is the pans with coating such as hard anodised are not dishwasher safe. This website below has fantastic offers on saucepan sets some even half price and they have free delivery on orders over 50 euros. [broken link removed]
One thing i would also say is if you buy saucepans with copper bases make sure you read the instructions on how to remove the protective layer if you place them on heat without removing the coating the base will turn black.
