Anyone used 'Granite Shield'? Go with granite or quartz?

We are still deciding on our countertops -- stuck between granite (pretty/organic looking/less $$) and quartz (low to no maintenance might suit our messy family better/also pretty in a different way). My husband loves the no-maintenance/no-worry aspect of quartz. (We have left, and will in the future, a glass with a ring of red wine on the counter overnight, and we don't want to worry about staining.) He also prefers the consistent look of quartz (although we're looking at New Venetian Gold or Giallo Ornamentale granite, which don't have a LOT of movement.)

One yard/fabricator that our kitchen designer has worked with (and recommended) really pushes the "Granite Shield" permanent sealer. Is this a gimmick, or is it a way to get the best of both worlds? Anyone have experience with Granite Shield -- good or bad?

Or -- any last advice to push us one way or the other on the counter-top choice fence (quartz or granite)?

Thanks!!
