    Being very honest I would never go for the HiMacs or Corian acrylic type worktops. For the same price or less you can buy granite or quartz. Depending on the style of kitchen, if it was more traditional I would pick a granite worktop, for something more contemporary I would look at quartz. (This is a generalisation, but it is usually the way it is!)
    MY personal preference is for quartz. The acrylic worktops feel like plastic, which to me feels cheap. But the quartz has the nice and cold feel of stone. If you look at the likes of Silestone, it has an anti bacterial agent which makes the surface extremely hygienic. It is also denser and more scratch resistent than granite.
    My suggestion would also be for the honed, or leather finishes as they are very easy to maintain and great looking!
