Depends on what type of worktop you are talking about. If your referring to a tool workshop, then neither, they are to expensive and will just get chipped and beat up.
If this is not the case then go with quartz, as it is the most durable, and the most expensive there is. You will see this when you go to buy it that quartz is the most
expensive.

What is Better granite transformation or silestone?
Both Materials are technically very good. The quality of the product (the slab) is very good, but they are made with 2 completely different manufacturing process. Silestone is a Factory based in Spain, that uses a Breton System; Granite Transformations manufactures with a Vibration System in their plant in Sebring Florida. Silestone manufactures primaraly 3/4" or 1 1/4" slabs (2 or 3 cm), Granite Transformations 1/4" slabs (6.6 mm). Granite Transformations system is an overlay over an existing or new substrate, the only one of his kind in the world, while Silestone is a regular slab. Granite Transformations production uses high concentration of Recycled Glass, Recycled Porcelain, Granite and Quartz, while Silestone is mainly Quartz. Granite Transformations colors are different than Silestone, and when you get to color selection it is up to you to decide. Granite Transformations layover process allows the remodeling of a surface is a very short time and with minimum dust, Silestone installation is a regular installation.
What countertop has built-in antimicrobial protection?
Silestone claims their quartz is anti microbial, but when I tested it, it failed. Read their warranty info on this, they don't guarantee it will work. Pick a product that can be washed down with bleach water if you are concerned. Some granite will take this abuse, some will not. Most quartz materials won't cover bleach or cleaning product damage. Most solid surface (like Corian) will take the bleach just fine. There have been studies on copper countertops that showed antibacterial results. Two other studies that covered stainless steel, quartz, and granite were unpublished, written for pay from two industry trade organizations.
