Corian, Silestone etc are all wildly expensive. If you have the money and are staying somewhere for ages, they're pretty much bomb-proof and therefore good value. Most laminates now come in a close-to-square edge profile which looks more modern than they used to. Duropal would be my choice if going this route. Just avoid fake wood and stone finishes and go for a flat colour.
