Do any exist whose non-stickiness doesn't burn/scrape/wear off? I'm
willing to use plastic/wood utensils...

Anolon nonstick cookware seems more durable than most. It uses DuPont
Autograph 2.
Here's DuPont's page describing their current teflon coatings and
inviting email inquiries.

Why?
I had two consecutive non-stick frying pans, and I took care of them,
but the coating came off both times, if I recall the second one lasted
a fairly short time.
I got a cheap stainless steel frying pan with an aluminum plate on the
bottom and it works fine, and I don't expect it to somehow go bad. I paid
something like ten dollars for it at some small kitchen store during a
sidewalk sale. I was so happy with that, I bought a nice pot with
steamer insert for about $20 at a similar store and sale, again with
a nice aluminum plate on the bottom.
I don't miss the non-stick, indeed I think I got the non-stick frying
pans mostly because that's what there was at a price I was willing
to spend.

Because its handy to not have to bother using any oil etc.

Because I don't want to scratch off the coating with steel utensils and
you don't actually need them if the coating actually works.

I'd like to avoid that. I hate to throw things away and I'll suffer
using crap rather than pitch it in the trash before it's annoyed me for
at least a couple of years.

I've got some nice pans that I'm careful with, but they're too big for
most things. I want it for pancakes, scrambled eggs, etc. The eggs are
a real bitch.

Some of us are slobs and wash dishes BY HAND once a week, if that. Easy
counts for a lot.
