I havent used stainless as a griddle, but love my cast iron griddle. No hot spots, it evenly distributes and holds heat great, pre-seasoned, easy maintance etc. Got mine from Cabelas for a $39. It's double sided, one w/ ridges for grilling, and a flat side with grease catch.
I've got the same cast iron as GoFish and Monty. Have had it for years. Like the others, I just love it and wouldn't part with it for anything. It has a variety of uses but gets most of it's use, stir frying veggies or sautÃ[emoji]169[/emoji]ing fish fillets on the BBQ Grill, with a smoker box running right beside it.
