I have put quartzite in two kitchens and found it almost unstainable. That would be my recommendation.
You just have to make sure the quartzite is actually quartzite. Some stones get labeled quartzite that are actually marble. If you can get a sample of the quartzite, there are tests you can do to identify what it really is.
Our quartzite counters have been in use for about four or five months and so far it appears to be bullet proof. *fingers crossed*

I have white statuary honed marble, it was sealed at installation two years ago and still no stains. Red wine, curry, turmeric, tomato sauce, etc all come out pretty easily with a lil elbow grease. It is wearing nicely...some etching in spots due to acid, a few dinks from hard/sharp blows, but they add character rather than making it look damaged. Soapstone will show similar wear stress, so if you like perfect, don't choose it either.
Look at Silestone or Caesarstone or other quartz composite......super durable, won't stain, has a stone like appearance.
