3. "Professional" stuff is generally cheaper and better than Nordicware (also, NW isn't stainless).

Both at home and at the restaurant I use the Baker's Mark sheet pans*, they're $7.29 vs. $12.99 for the Nordicware, and they most certainly hold up to anything a home cook can throw at them. Of course, it's all a moot point if you want stainless; sheet pans are conventionally made from aluminum because it's lighter, which is no joke when you have a pile of 15 to lug around, and it cooks far more evenly.

If you want stainless you'll need to look a little harder, and pay a LOT more, north of $20 a pan. That's fine if it's your jam, but I can assure you aluminum holds up fine. The racks for the pans should be stainless, but that's for a different discussion.
