Are you the person who posts these same pics on every single thread where soapstone is mentioned?  I'm the PP who actually has soapstone in our house and we've had no issues with water or other marks.  Oiled it once on the day it was installed and still looks great.

OP, you should post your question over on the Gardenweb kitchens forum and see what they have to say.  There are lots of people over there with honed granite and soapstone (marble too) who could help you weigh the pros and cons of each.  To answer your original question, polished granite is looking dated but honed is probably still OK.  I like obviously like soapstone since it's a material that would have actually been used in a 1900s farmhouse kitchen but I'm sure honed granite would look nice too if that's what you prefer.[/quote]
