The shape of your pot is also important. Looks for stock pots that have a round, flat base with a heavy bottom that will prevent burning. The sides should be deep and straight, and the pot should always come with a tight-fitting cover made specifically for the pot. Never buy a separate lid, even if you think it fits. This can cause many a meal to be dried out due to moisture leaks.
The biggest source of variation amongst people who buy stock pots is the material the pot is made from--do you buy copper, aluminum, stainless steel, cast iron, or a combination? There are a lot of differences of opinion on this subject, so go with what's in your budget and what you're comfortable with in the long run.
Copper is truly a great conductor of heat, but other stainless steel alloys provide just as much efficiency for a cheaper price. Aluminum is cheaper, but should be reinforced. Shoot for a medium-priced pot with a material you like. For more on stock pots, look through dozens of products at Sortprice.com.
