I just went today to a restaurant supply house and purchased a heavy duty alloy 14 qt and lid. I already have a 16 qt heavy duty alloy. My cast iron Dutch Oven is in 10 qt and 20 qt.
Magnalite is great but old school in my opinion.

You can make gumbo in a washtub, so my comments are less about gumbo and more about what I think you want.
Get a pot with a reinforced base. Cheap pots are thin. Foods will burn on the bottom.
Get one with a matching lid. Some don't come with this.
A curved/beveled rim helps pour liquids.
Go taller rather than wider. Tall sides limit evaporation and are great for simmering. They are hot though. Making a roux in one, I have to use a hot glove.
Get one with a reinforced base. Important enough to say it twice.

I recommend the All-Clad pot with the colander insert. Make the stock in the pot, remove the colander and proceed.

Get a Winco heavy duty stock pot.... mine is 5mm (3/16") thick, plenty good enough for a good gumbo. I cook white beans and red beans in it too.

Magnalite has never failed me but I'm currently in the market for a larger, taller, and narrower stainless pot to experiment with.
