Cuisinart MCP-12 MultiClad Pro Stainless Steel 12-Piece Cookware Set
I used to work in a kitchen store, but I’m not sure what is on the market today. I love All-Clad, but it is super expensive. What you want to look for is something that has an aluminum core and evenly thick sides. Revereware has a line with either aluminum or copper (best conductors of heat) reinforcement on the bottom, and they work fine. My problem with Revere is that the thin sides make it easy to scorch if your fire is too high.
Go to Bed Bath & Beyond or Target and compare the feel and the thickness of the different pans. Also, you’ll know you have a crappy pan when you tap the side and it sounds super thin and light.

What is the best cookware non-stick or stainless steel in the price range of $250.00?

Revere Ware. I have some from my mother that were bought in 1940 & I bought some in 1964. It never wears out, always looks great. Buy one piece at a time if you can't afford a set. If you don't mind cleaning – get the copper bottom Revere Ware.

Yes, Revere Ware is great. But I also have been cooking with a few very nice quality and inexpensive stainless steel pots and pans from Korea for nearly 20 years. I would have to say that they were the best for the money. I would look around for some stainless steel cookware from Korea or India at WalMart, K-Mart and such. Look for something heavy, sturdy, nicely machined bottoms. You will probably be able to tell by looking at it if it's good quality.
