Silicone, stainless steel, or ceramic — which soap dish material lasts longest?

Each has tradeoffs in the reviews we read. Stainless steel resists rust and is durable but can show water spots; silicone is cheap, flexible, and dishwasher-friendly but can collect grime in the drain channels; ceramic and stone look the most upscale but are heavier and can crack if dropped. Most buyers prioritize drainage over material.
