A granite countertop that is thicker will be more durable, but the cost increases linearly with the thickness. The installation cost won't change much, because that's mostly labor rather than materials.

Granite counter tops average about 1 inch in thickness. Any thinner and the granite is much too brittle. Any thicker and the costs sky rocket due to increased weight and materials cost.
