Hoenstly, despite what other say, hexclad isn't bad. It seems to be a little more robust than normal non stick but at the same time it's still non-stick so I can't comment it's lifespan. The thing with hexclad is the texture also limits your contact with the entire surface to help make it last longer/work better. It's not anything special, it's like the bead blasted rock coating.

Like everyone says, cast iron, enameled cast iron or stainless works. If I were you would just do enameled cast since it doesn't need any special work. You could get stainless and burn/season it too.
