Le Creuset... but there's a secret... They're SUPER expensive.
So you find your local outlet store and sign up for their mailing list. You'll regularly get 30%, 40%, 50% off deals.

Also thrift stores. The only Le Creuset pan I own cost me $7.
That's a hell of a thrift store find.
2nd trick, they have an outstanding warranty. Bring it in, they swap it out.
I have an outstanding warrant ...is that the same?
Not quite, but I encourage you to visit your warrant provider for more details to prevent loss of service.
There's plenty of knockoffs brands that seem to be as hardy; might but be worth the premium anymore.
Lodge is also quite good and a fraction of the price.
Cuisinart makes a dutch oven that's just as good but lighter somehow.
Not everything Le Creuset. They seem to be very similar to other kitchen brands (kitchenaid, Cuisinart, etc) in that they make a few excellent products, but the rest of their line is overpriced stuff that isn't as good as other brands you could buy. Their Dutch ovens are good, for example, but not their French press so much.
