Another vote for Corelle. We've had our set for almost 10 years and every piece is in perfect condition. I've dropped a few plates and bowls over the years... I also like that they are thin and stack really well together. Saves a lot of space in my cabinet.
I adore Fiestaware. My biggest wedding regret is not registering for it then. Our original set wore out and then I started collecting pieces. They are incredibly durable, classic, made in USA, fun to mix and match.
Did the 48 piece set when it was on sale through Brad's Deals. Bought my flatware set from them as well, love all their products so far. I plan on getting a matching serving set too in the future.
My mom and I both have Fiesta. It doesn't chip or break, it's oven and microwave safe, it comes in so many colors and matching serving dishes/accessories, and it's made in the USA of non-toxic stuff.

I have such a hodgepodge of kids plates and bowls that our cabinet looks like a rainbow but I currently have my mom's old pfalzgraff set as our main dishes. They're nice and sturdy. I want Corelle primarily because we don't have a dishwasher and other plates are so heavy and bulky to wash. They also remind me of my grandmother.
I have correlle and while I'd like to replace it just bc I'm bored of my pattern, it's at least 10 years old at this point, it refuses to break so I can't really justify the expense. Lol.
I so know this feeling. I bought my pattern when I moved into my first apartment at 19 and I don't think I've lost a single plate or bowl since then. These days I'd prefer something a little less casual, but I can't seem to justify replacing an entire set of dishes in perfect condition because I got bored of a green leaf print.
My Corelle is 10 years old, plain white. I let my kids use it through the toddler years and even with them throwing bowls on a tile floor, we've only had maybe 2 break.
I love that I can hold all the plates in one hand as I unload the dishwasher.

I have corelle and it has held up perfectly with 3 kids who work as hard as they can to ruin everything I own. Also, it takes up no space in our cabinets. They stack so compactly and fit great in the dishwasher.
I have Fiesta but with four kids decided it was too thick and heavy for everyday, although I do still think the colors are fun and I am still keeping it for occasional use. We got Corelle "swept" pattern and I love it. I like that it has the thin-ness and strength of Corelle, but doesn't look like old-fashioned 1970s Corelle. It's actually really pretty and it's plain white so you can put anything with it, plus it's not very expensive. I highly recommend it.
I also have a really nice set of plain white bone china from Crate & Barrel from when we got married, so I can use those serving pieces if I want to.
