II recommend reading the FAQ linked above.
Many SDers have furnished our kitchens on All-Clad seconds.
In some ways, cast iron (or carbon steel which works the same) is the easiest. Once it's been seasoned, you don't really need to do much to clean it at all. I will add a little water to the pan while it's still on the heat, and use a good chain mail scrubber with a pair of tongs to loosen any bits that might be stuck, then I dry the pan and that's it. But yes, you have to thoroughly dry it by hand.
Stainless steel can be handled similarly. If anything is stuck to it, you can put some water in the pan and heat it up and scrape it up like you're making a sauce. Then you can wash it with soap and leave it to dry. If you get any discoloration, a little Bar Keepers Friend with a paper towel takes care of that.
If you want to just throw your pans in the dishwasher, then you can do that with stainless steel as well, but if you want them to last a long time, then you would want to spring for one of the expensive brands that has sealed edges. Brands like all-clad, where the middle aluminum core is exposed at the edge, shouldn't really go in the dishwasher. Harsh dishwasher detergents will deteriorate the exposed aluminum over time.

Their seconds are better than most others' first quality. I have outfitted 3 kitchens from their semi-annual 2nds sales (mostly from the physical location sale, but some from the online sales, as well).
I've never had an issue with any of it.
Any of the 'non-clad' stuff is made in China, but the rest is made here in the US.
