Are aluminum or nonstick baking sheets better?

Reviewer consensus

Across the reviewers we read, bare aluminum pans (like the Nordic Ware Naturals line cited by Serious Eats) win on durability, even browning, and warp resistance, while nonstick or ceramic-coated pans (like OXO and Caraway) trade longevity for easier release and cleanup. Specialist subreddits including r/cookware repeatedly caution that any nonstick coating will eventually degrade.
