Calphalon Contemporary Stainless

What foods are best cooked in good quality stainless steel cookware? I'm planning to...?

I am planning to purchase Calphalon Contemporary cookware, however I'm having a difficult time deciding between the stainless steel or the nonstick. The exterior on the stainless steel is absolutely beautiful, however I'm concerned with my food sticking to the pans. Instead of buying a set of one or the other, I'm thinking I should buy each piece individually. So I'd like to know, what foods are best cooked in stainless steel and why?

I cook just about everything in good stainless steel pans. I love mine. Stainless heats up pretty fast and holds the heat. You'll find yourself cooking at slightly lower temperatures.

I want pans that I can bang around in the kitchen. I don't want to work to hard at taking care of them. I don't want glass lids that I can't replace if I drop one.
There's nothing wrong with buying a starter set, but I prefer to buy pans as I need them. Most of my pans don't match. That is fine with me. They are my tools, I didn't by them to decorate the kitchen.

I have: 4 stainless saucepans. 1 stainless skillet. 3 cast iron skillets. 1 heavy rolled steel wok, 1 stainless stock pot.
I use the cast iron for most frying, Stainless steel for almost everything else. I prefer the stainless skillet for searing meats that I'm going to braise in the oven.

I also own several pieces of Corning ware and Pyrex glassware that I use in the oven.
