help needed with pots and pans

we are just looking at sorting out this camping lark properly, space is pretty tight in our car, so need one of those things where they all sit inside the other and fasten up.
My question is, are they all much of a muchness in terms of functionality, or is it better to cough up a bit extra now and save having to buy it all again next year when the cheap ones fall apart?
Also, is the non stick worth considering or is it just that cheapo non stick that works OK the first time and then wears off before the second use?

We got a set from Go Outdoors with non stick on, they served us 2 years and still going strong. But for our small family of 4 they were really too small and I ended up taking a big pan from home and a frying pan too otherwise we'd be pretty limited in what we cooked.

I think we got the campinggaz idonized (or something) ones. I like how they stack, and their ickle handles are v sweet. You can't cook a big old wodge of pasta or ginormous all-in-one stew in them though, even the biggest one.

I have a Coleman set. They are red and non stick. The biggest one really is big enough to cook a stew in too.
Have also seen a tefal set somewhere which had really clever bend to the side handles and they stacked too. Might be worth a google.

We've just bought these There's usually quite a few of us when we camp so the biggest pan should easily do pasta for 4-6 hungry adults.
We'll have to take another frying pan, but that's just so we can cook veggie and non-veggie breakfasts at the same time.
Haven't been able to test them out yet but they feel nice and study. I like that they all have their own handles, rather than faffing around swapping one handle between them all, and no doubt dropping something.
The non-stick should last as long as we remember to not use metal utensils. Personally I hate non-stick, but these pans were the right size so for a few trips a year I can tolerate it.
