What kind of cookware surface is best for use on an electric range?

I’m looking for a new cookware set, preferably non-stick, and do they make a set that doesn’t have toxic non-stick components? I have an electric range, and I want to know what kind of surface works best with it. Or, if you have a suggestion for what kinds of brands I should look out for, that would help out as well. Thanks a lot!
It’s not a glass top range, just FYI

Non-stick is okay but not a whole set. You don’t need non-stick when boiling water. All non-stick will release what may be considered unsafe compounds when heated above 400 degrees F. So just buy one or two fry pans (an 8" and a 12") and avoid high heat setting for long periods of time.

I consider the best to be "All-Clad" stainless steel cookware. Unlike anodized aluminum, it is dishwasher safe. If kept clean and a little spritz of oil it is virtually stick free. They heat up evenly, clean easily and they will last to the point of becoming an heirloom. They are not cheap but if browse the internet you can find some deals. Also check department stores periodically as they will have "try me" specials like an 8" fryer for $20.

    Sstainless Steel, it’s easier to clean and healthier to use. Non stick leads to Alzheimer’s

    I had purchased the faberware set with my range. Any glass set you buy may scratch the top
    assuming you bought a glass top range. Faberware is good quality flat bottom stainless steel pot.
