When considering a new stainless sink you will want to take a look at which mounting would be best, first is undermount, this one is installed below the counter top to create a smooth finish without seams and works best with granite or solid surface counter tops, next would be drop in and these are just as the name suggests dropped in from the top and have the lip on the counter, this type keeps more water off the counter but do not have the clean finish of the undermount.

Some things to look at when thinking of purchasing a stainless steel sink are, the thickness of the steel, number of bowls, the depth of the bowls, drain position and sound deafing pads.
