I'm also about to make this decision! Do you mean worktops or floor tiles? At the moment I'm leaning towards white quartz tiles for the kitchen floor and a black granite worktop.

quartz worktop, was thinking of quartz floor tiles as well, but maybe a different colour,

A friend just paid a lot of money for a granite worktop. It marked the first day they got it. The installers game out and sealed the whole thing again but they are still having problems and have to be really careful with it.
Not the first person I know who have had this sort of experience.
My brother just had some composite stuff which is quite clever - on-site they blended all the bits i.e back splash and the end sections all so it looks like one bit. Really impressed with it and would go with that over granite now

That's called 'Corian' rob 
It's the future and has most of the benefits of granite without any of the drawbacks.

Thats the stuff Corian. Broker said it was really interesting watching it being installed.
