What do you recommend? I will end up paying the same price for either one, considering shipping costs.

I mainly plan using it on burgers, searing steaks and grilling Fish. Will I regret my decision if I go with Staub?

Here it is

I don't care for cast iron grill pans. I find them terribly difficult to clean and season really well, and you can't do everything you want in them. And if I want to grill, I'll use the grill.

I'd go with a standard 10- or 12-inch cast iron skillet, like what tooge pictured above. That's your standard go-to pan and will do a kick ass job with burgers.

You'll like the enameled exterior, though.

yep. don't get griddled. You'll spend alot of time cleaning inbetween the ridges, and it doesn't do anything a straigth 12 inch pan won't do. If you are after grill marks, then use the grill to sear and finish in the oven in your cast iron pan.

I agree. I'll go with a regular Cast Iron Skillet then
