Which sink better for my dirty family - stainless or silgranit?

I'm wondering how silgranit holds up in a household where kids leave plates, glasses and silverware in the sink in precarious stacks and dishwashers are not always gentle. I've lived with stainless for 20 years and liked the way it had a little bounce to it. I was never afraid of breaking my dishes if there was a sinkful. Now we are in a rental house with a porcelain (or maybe enamel) sink and I hate it. I am terrified of breaking things in it and banging the pots around.

I had a Blanco Silgranit picked out for our new kitchen but now I'm wondering - will it behave more like the porcelian/enamel sink or the stainless? I'm also a pretty lousy housekeeper as far as babying materials with special cleaners.

I am fine with stainless patina and starting to think for our messy/clumsy house it may be a safer option than Silgranit even though the Silgranit will look prettier with my Taj Mahal. Input?
