Coating types - help a newbie

[AlanD]

Can anybody give me a diffinitive answer on coatings. From what I have read/heard/deduced I gather that RN coating and Listawood's Duraglaze coatings are aguably the most durable dishwasher safe with Orca being very good but perhaps not the same as the first two but where do the likes of the Xpress XP5013 mug fall into the pecking order (apart from there being none in stock) or other suppliers who may have their own coating. Can they be considered the same/equivalent as RN or Orca.
Visiting sites there are some very substantial claims for Duraglaze and RN durability - I don't see the same type of claims for Orca or others - not in writing anyway.
Just curious as I would like to offer customers the best there is and for a price difference per mug of just pence I would go for the better coating.

Any of the main coatings, RN, Duraglaze, Orca or Rhino will give top quality results. Another Tiger? coating will probably be equal too but it's only been released onto the market.

Take all claims with a pinch of marketing salt. The most important decision when purchasing should be on the quality of the actual straightness of the mug and how it was sprayed successfully onto the mug. RN, Duraglaze Orca don't make mugs so the quality of the mug can change. Only Rhino coated mugs are their ceramic come from the same company.
