    It's personal preference. If you google for "marble or granite kitchen worktops" there are any number of people discussing the pro's and con's. For example :

    Marble Countertop PROS

    Beauty - Classic, timeless beauty, and a white brightness not available in granite or soapstone.
    Cool Temperature - Marble is wonderful for working with pastry, since it is naturally cool; it doesn't conduct heat very well.
    Cost - While some rarer types of marble are very expensive, the more common Carrara (also called Carrera) marble is one of the least expensive natural countertops.
    Widely available - Unlike some quartzes and the hard-to-find quartzite, marble is available from nearly any stone fabricator or stone yard.
    Marble Countertop CONS

    Scratching - Marble can scratch easily, especially when touched for a long period of time by something acidic. A slice of lemon laid down on a polished countertop overnight can leave a mark in the shape of the lemon slice, duller than the surface around it.
    Staining - Marble can also stain; red wine and some fruits are infamous for leaving indelible stains on the marble."
