I’m doing a double sink bathroom vanity and I don’t know which is better. What do you think ?

Marble will probably look better, but like Arkady said it will stain if you spill things on it, so needs to be sealed, polished and cleaned with the proper products. It can also be stained from inappropriate cleaning products(bleach,etc), but does look better! In either case, make sure it’s sealed!
Some granites can be very susceptible to standing water, ie
temporarily darken where water sits on them. Not so great for bathroom vanities. Avoid granites w/ “veins”.

But marble is susceptible to stains from lots of the solvents in cosmetics & beauty aids. Granite is less likely to stain.

I vote marble.
Ooh, with subway tile and black and white hexagonal tile, marble will be swell.
We found a finish that we loved – it was onyx – we love it.
The point is what do you like?
I’m doing conventional subway tile and hexagonal flooring in white and black.
Marble seems more “bathroomy” but it’s hard to say without knowing what the other finishes are.
