For the hob/burner: Stainless steel is pretty versatile and you can put it in the dishwasher. I also have a cast iron that I use for things like eggs that need a bit of 'non-stick'. You have to hand wash it though and take care not to damage the seasoning.
For the oven: Stainless steel or pyrex if you want something that retains heat. Some people love their enameled cast iron but that stuff is so expensive that I've never bothered with it.
Additional notes on cast iron care: There are a lot of guys out there for whom caring for their cast iron pans is their entire identity. They buy special oils and have their little routines for caressing their special little cast iron baby and you should pay no attention to any of them.
Honestly, I feel like pots and pans should all be hand washed. Maybe I'm crazy lol.
You also don't have to take all that much care to not damage the seasoning. All that weird advice comes from the days when soap had lye in it. Don't soak it though obviously.
I dunno I think with stainless steel it's probably better for the pan to put it through the dishwasher than going at it with a scourer. Using the dishwasher also saves water over hand-washing, somewhat counterintuitively
A little bit of powdered detergent and hot water will lift damn near everything out of a stainless pan.
Not damaging the seasoning isn't that hard. Just use soap and a cloth. Re-seasoning is also super easy
