Plastic is better than both!

(Sorry, I couldn't resist. I have white plastic microwave piece shaped
like a fry pan. When I showed it to a colleague at work, he said in all
seriousness, "Will it work on the stovetop?")

The cast iron burners work great. When my BBQ burners had to replaced I
got stainless. When those wore out I could not find stainless and for a
few dollars more got cast iron. They worked great. I had nice even heat
from them. The body of the BBQ corroded away and the whole unit had to
be replaced before the cast iron burners died.

I have had good luck with both. I have one grill that everything rusted
away on but the cast iron burners and another that is 4 years old using
stainless that looks like new. Buy what you can afford.
