Magic Line. Nice and heavy, with straight sides. Along with them, get
yourself a set of Magicake Strips or the equivalent. (The same thing is
sold by Wilton.) Basically, they are padded, heat resistant cloth strips
that you soak in water and affix around the sides of the pan with a pin.
Your cakes will rise evenly, making it easier to stack them with less waste.

Non-stick is neither necessary nor desirable, IMHO. Buy a can of Baker's Joy
if you want convenience. Whatever you do, don't get those lightweight
abominations with sloping sides that they sell everywhere. Oh, and no dark
pans. The last thing you want in a layer cake is more browning.
