M$Another brand I can recommend is Le Creuset. Their cookware is even heavier than the All Clad, but is more subject to damage. Do not, under any circumstances, purchase their horrible stock pot. Only the enameled cast-iron. These pots make lovely cooking, baking and serving pieces.
Also, you're probably more at risk from aluminum in your deoderant/antiprespirant than from cookware. When you put it on your skin, it absorbs directly into your skin and bypasses the detoxification from your liver that anything you consume through your mouth is subjected to. If you're concerned about aluminum toxicity, I suggest that you not only stop using aluminum cookware, but also try an aluminum and zinc-free deoderant, such as Kiss My Face Liquid Rock Fragrance - Free.

M$An alternative is stainless steel, which unless the surface is badly damaged (unlikely) can only allow harmless amounts of metals such as nickel, chromium and molybdenum to enter the food.
Apparently aluminum is much safer now, as long as it is anodized aluminum cookware. When it is manufactured, the cookware is subjected to an electro-chemical anodizing process which locks in the cookware’s base metal, aluminum which is then unable to enter the food.
Teflon coated cookware is considered safe if it is used correctly and not at extremely high temperatures way beyond normal use. It can release a harmful gas if overheated, but tiny particles of the non stick surface do not pose any health threat.
So it seems that the brand is less important than the type of cookware.
I hope you find something suitable without paying a fortune!

M$We have never been rich and I have bought cheap pots and pans. I notice how the coating on the pots and pans wears off easily after just a dozen uses. So where is that coating? Must have been cooked off in our food.
I have since switched to cast iron. Lodge cast Iron is a great choice and I will include the link below. Crate & Barrel also sells cast iron pots and pans. To me the cast iron pots and pans seem to be the safest and they last a long time. http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1192/1473715004_02c3462d3a_t.jpg
