Tramontina from Walmart is also pretty well regarded and reviewed. I have these, and along with my cast iron, need nothing else. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Tramontina-8-Piece-18-10-Stainless-Steel-Tri-Ply-Clad-Cookware-Set/19581112
I purchased the Tramontina tri-ply set for my wife (back when I was still married) - they are extremely well-made. This cookware is very highly regarded - Cooks Illustrated magazine compares it favorably to All-Clad's tri-ply offering. However, the pots in the set do not have the flared lip which, I have learned from first-hand experience, is a very useful feature.
I purchased this set for myself a couple of years ago: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009JXPS6U/ref...oding=UTF8&th=1 It also compares favorably with the All-Clad and the Tramontina and all pieces in the set have the flared lip. I like it so much I recently purchased the set as a housewarming gift for an acquaintance of mine.
Whatever you do, if you go SS be sure to get tri-ply cookware. Regular non-tri-ply cookware does not perform anywhere near as well.
