Is granite slab better than granite tiles for kitchen counter?

I am planning to remodel the kitchen and would like to find out if granite slab is overall better quality than the tile. I’ve heard the tile is cheaper and less costly when it is damaged as if you have a slab you must replace the whole slab not the several tiles. Is there any other consideration I should make before I decide which one?

Granite is very expensive, but worth it. As for the slab being damaged, it would have to be something serious, something like a sledge hammer. It is extremely tough.
Benefits are value added to your house. It is estimated that over 90% of what you put into your kitchen can be recovered in resale, especially solid granite counter top. Everyone wants the solid counter top (1.5 inches thick), but most cant afford it or dont want to spend that much.

Tiles (.5 inch thick) are less attractive and are thinner. They can break with a heavy pot or something being dropped on it. It is still a tough material. Granite is pleasing to the eye, most people just love it. There is some maintenance involved but only a couple of time is a year. Great material for kitchen.

If you can afford it go with the solid top, its better looking and its adds most value to your home.
