I love quartz and that's what I have but granite is cheaper. I would go with granite in your case. I also don't hate granite. Honestly, I don't care what something is as long as it requires little to no maintenance and I like the way it looks.

I don't think quartz is trendy. I put Silestone (quartz) in a kitchen back in 2002 and it was plenty popular back then. I was very happy with it -- it looked good, was durable, and didn't require sealing, unlike granite. Just pick a neutral color and pattern.
