There are several different types of kitchen sinks: apron front, undercounter, surface mount and more. You’ve also got to choose from single basin, double basin or even triple basin. Don’t forget you’ll have to choose a material, like cast iron, metal or stone. We admit: we picked ten kitchen sinks from various sources that we just happen to like the look of (and hope you will, too), but we know you’ll love these prices:
1) Vigo Stainless Steel Farmhouse-style Kitchen Sink $374.99 Stainless steel is the most popular material used for a kitchen sink, and we like how wide and modern this one looks.
2) Belle Foret Farm Apron Front $408 Though apron front sinks are often associated with farm-style kitchens, we think this simple modern one could work for many styles.
3) Kohler Double Basin Smart Divide Cast Iron Kitchen Sink $424.32 and up A simple, functional double basin sink, check out the realistic and unusual height of the divider.
4) CorStone Coventry Self-Rim Single Bowl Kitchen Sink $272.78 Another simple sink that could be used in a variety of kitchen styles.
5) Kohler Double Basin Stainless Steel Kitchen Sink $241.74 This shiny double basin sink has some unexpected curve, softening up a modern look.
6) Blanco Kitchen Sink Equal Double Bowl $335.26 Though we're not sure we're sold on the idea, sinks come in a number of dark colors.
7) Blanco Diamond Super Single Bowl Kitchen Sink $299.79 Another dark-colored sink, this time with a more simple look.
8) 18" Round Copper Kitchen Sink $397.80 We think copper makes for an interesting material, and this round, a smaller sink helps keep the price point low.
9) Kohler Sterling McAllister Undercounter Single-basin Kitchen Sink $287.45 Another great stainless steel look that could transition between a few different kitchen styles.
10) Kohler Bakersfield Self-rimming Kitchen Sink $447.50 Just a standard, no fuss sink, but check out the website for all the neat colors available.
What does your current kitchen sink look like? What would you change it to if you got a new sink? What's your dream kitchen sink?

A double-sink with a built-in drainboard is on my wish list. They don't seem to be popular in North America. Only Ikea carries them at a reasonable price.
I recently purchased #9 and I love it!
I tired of the double sink with divider that some pots and pans don't easily fit in....this sink, if you cook a lot, is just
perfect.
The stainless is not scratch proof, but barkeeper's friend is
the perfect fix to it looking new and sparkling.
Perfect timing AT! I have been debating what sink to order. Just ordered #7 the Blanco extra deep sink bowl in black and a new Grohe Concetto Pull down faucet (on Ebay for $195) http://www.homedepot.com/Kitchen-Faucets/GROHE/h_d1/N-5yc1vZ1xr5Zar0kZ3zn/R-100685396/h_d2/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053
I'm soo excited!
Two years ago we installed a 30-inch-wide, 10-inch-deep single bowl undermount stainless sink from a company called Ticor (we bought model S112; Ticor makes a wide variety of sizes and styles). We bought it from Galaxy Tool Supply in Chicago (via the interweb) for about $200. It's 16 gauge and fabulous, in addition to being considerably cheaper than a comparable Blanco or Franke sink (which are often lighter weight, 18 gauge SS). The Galaxy Tool Supply staff was extremely helpful, paying for the return of a damaged sink and getting us a new one overnight.
The sink is quiet (it came with a stainless sink grid; most of the other manufacturers charge extra for the grids) and sturdy. Other than being made in China (which I know would be a problem for some) I see no downside.
We heard about the Ticor sinks on the GardenWeb kitchen forum, a great resource if you're planning a kitchen project.
best sink I ever had was a large single basin stainless model. the best thing about stainless for me is that if you drop a glass in it, it will probably bounce. in a ceramic, stone or other rigid material, you are probably looking at sharp things to pick up...
We are almost done with our kitchen remodel and we found our zero radius apron front modern sink on ebay, similar to this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/Apron-Zero-Radius-Stainless-Steel-Kitchen-Sink-16-gauge_W0QQitemZ270535557066QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_Sinks?hash=item3efd2cffca
It was around $450 with shipping and worth every penny. We'd seen similar sinks by Kohler for more than $1000...
We absolutely love it, you can see a couple pics of it installed on our blog: http://heatherandmike.wordpress.com/
