I started with cast iron before getting a nice stainless pan, and I had every intention of using both equally, but I rarely reach for the cast iron now. Really only use it when I need very high heat (like for cast iron pizza) or with things that would stick a ton and make a mess (like burgers)
If I had my pick I would have a cast iron wok, a cast iron skillet for steak / browning meat, and a stainless steel pan for sautéing.
If husband dearest hadn't attacked my beloved stainless steel pan I would be eyeing up a cast iron prospector pan right now.
