DH and Dd love their tea. I'd like to buy them a teapot, possibly with matching cups for Christmas. Any recommendations? Or are they all much of a muchness?

They are not much of a muchness, but hard to tell if it is good beforehand.
Are they sharing the teapot, and do they like a nice generous cup or two - in which case get a big one, and be aware that sometimes the number of cups they claim you can get out of the pot is verging on fantasy.
Metal pots can sometimes be too hot to hold 
if you get a cheap one.
Some pots come with a little internal mesh to put the leaves in - personally I don't like these, and find them fiddly and difficult to clean.
Ones that drip or are difficult to pour are a massive pain, not sure how to tell without trying it out though.
I have a nice traditional style blue teapot from the London pottery company, which I love, but it looks homely rather than elegant imo. It pours beautifully.

I have never met a metal teapot that didn't leak/drip

I've got a Le Crueset one, it's teal and divine. And pisses out tea like a fountain. I didn't imagine I'd have to use it over the sink every time .
