Quartz or Granite showdown?

Hi...I am in a tail spin...literally! I was all excited because after countless hours of searching for the perfect counters I am stumped.

I was looking for something natural looking (concrete-ish) and thought I found it in the PentalQuartz pental belgium blue. Before ordering they wanted us to sign a waiver that the satin finish can show finger prints, etc... I did a test on it and low & behold...it is true and I couldn't get them out. They almost show up as a smokey-ish vs. dark like I expected.

I was also considering the Piatra Grey but it actually looks kind of green-ish in color and am not sure it will go with the marble subway tile for the backsplash.

I thought Quartz was bullet resistant...but not the case when you really look at the companies disclosure. Now back to the drawing board. I thought granite was off my plate but I might reconsider. I want something either solid-ish dark gray or black. I was hoping honed but would do leathered.

Does anyone have any advice on Leathered Granite?

Thank you so much in advance for any feedback!!
