I'm not familiar with Fissler, but based on the link their non-stick isn't much more expensive than the Zwilling Madura Plus line.

AllClad D3 pots and pans (D5 or copper are overkill IMO, but you won’t go wrong)
- A container of BarKeeper’s Friend
Zwilling Madura non-stick skillet (not quite BIFL, but they last better than any other non-stick I’ve found)
Staub or Le Creuset enameled Dutch oven
Wustof knives
- A 1000 and 4000 grit reversible water stone
KitchenAid mixer
Vitamix blender

If that doesn’t pan out, I’ve had good experience with the Zwilling Madura line.

I’ve got a bunch of D3 and love all of it. 10” and 12” skillets probably get the most use, followed by 1.5qt saucepan. The sets, especially larger ones, tend to go on sale this time of year. Create a throwaway email and sign up at a few sites.

Barkeeper’s Friend FTW.
