Recommendations for nonstick frying pans and cutting boards

Just wrapped inventory for the season and beyond replenishing the regular wear & tear / attrition on linens, the two items that I keep having to replace are nonstick frying pans and cutting boards (currently plastic). They seem to need replacing every 2 months (or sooner) from scratches. I do provide various stainless steel pans and a cast-iron (these are fine). I've tried everything from OXO to ceramic and they're still getting marked up although I provide silicone utensils (guessing metal tools are still being used). Any recommendations for items that last longer?

FWIW, I do think the brand must matter on the cutting boards as I've swapped out several sets from Costco but the thicker ones I have at home have lasted more than a decade. Contemplating wood boards that I'll have to maintain twice per year but not sure if guests would dislike that or be willing to hand wash. I've thought of just not providing nonstick but respect that many guests are used to them and prefer them. TIA for your feedback!

I provide a nice set of stainless steel pans that are pretty much bulletproof no matter what the guests decide to do with them. Non-stick seems unsustainable for the reasons you mentioned. I've never had a guest mention anything about the lack of non-stick pans or leave a negative review. 

There are tempered glass cutting boards you could try.
